19.02.1981 is to be treated as the qualifying service for pensionary benefits

including the increments and promotions, has been allowed.

Certain facts needs to be mentioned for correct appreciation of

the issue in hand.

The respondent-plaintiff joined as a JBT teacher in the year

1962. She was confirmed on the said post in the year 1965. In 1976, the

respondent-plaintiff applied for a long leave for a period of two years

started from 1976 to 1978, which was sanctioned. Rather than joining back

upon expiry of leave, the respondent-plaintiff applied for further leave of

one year i.e. from 09.04.1978 to 09.04.1979.
