Applicant was admittedly removed from service on June 1, 2000while he wasworking as Trained Graduate Teacher (Maths) atGovernment High School, Chethalath in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep on a charge of unauthorised absence from duty. The grievance of the applicant is that the respondents have not considered Annexure A2 request made by him for grant of compassionate allowance under Rule 41 of the CCS(Pension) Rules, 1972. The applicant has got yet another grievance that he has not been granted the dues standing to his credit in the General Provident Fund account as on the date of cessation of his service.
