Analysis and Conclusion:
Applying through the proper channel is a fundamental requirement for government servants to ensure their applications are considered valid and in accordance with rules. Breaks in service, especially due to voluntary resignation or unauthorized absence, typically disrupt the continuity of service and may prevent benefits or promotions unless specific provisions recognize such breaks. Courts consistently emphasize the importance of considering the entire service record and following due procedures to uphold fairness. Retrospective legal changes are scrutinized to protect vested rights, and proper fixation of seniority and adherence to service rules are critical in promotion and retirement matters. Overall, proper channel application and maintaining service continuity are key to ensuring rightful consideration in service-related decisions.
