2. We have read our judgment, dated 21st September, 1982 and find that the stand taken by the Deputy Commissioner is absolutely correct as we have not exonerated the appellant completely but have only varied the sentence to censure and stoppage of two annual increments without cumulative effect. In this manner it will not be proper for him to claim back benefits in the present case. However, the period of his absence will be treated as leave of the kind due to him.

A. E. Order accordingly.
