CCA Rules 1966 | 'Dies Non' for Prolonged Absence Without Departmental Inquiry Violates Procedural Fairness : CGHC
Chhattisgarh High Court rules that treating 609 days of absence as 'dies non' without a departmental inquiry under CCA Rules 1966 constitutes a major penalty, entitling the employee to full salary, increments, and pension benefits. The judgment reinforces that procedural fairness mandates a formal inquiry before imposing such penalties on government servants.
