He was given a charge-sheet for remaining absent for more than 10 days (actually 110 days). A domestic enquiry was held against him and he was found guilty. He was dismissed from service. After a grievance notice to District Manager, SRTC he filed a grievance petition before the Labour Court, Hyderabad. The learned Labour Court found that the appellant remained absent for very long period without getting his leave sanctioned by the respondent.
