Case Law Details
Satish Chandra Verma Vs Union of India (Supreme Court of India)
In the instant case, the appellant who is a member of the All India Services has paid leave to his credit and has applied to go to U.S.A. and France to visit members of his family who are residing there. On an earlier occasion this Court permitted him to travel to U.S.A. in the year 2017 and he promptly came back.
We are of the opinion that pendency of departmental proceedings cannot be a ground to prevent the appellant from travelling abroad.
In view of the above, we are of the opinion that there is no reason for the Government of India to refuse permission to the appellant to travel abroad. It is submitted by Ms. Indira Jai Singh that the appellant intends to go to U.S.A. and France between the period 28.04.2019 and 01.06.2019. The respondents are directed to permit the appellant to travel during the said period. The appellant shall furnish an undertaking to the Registry of this Court that he will come back on 01.06.2019.
