A former lecturer in Andhra Pradesh government service is seeking advice on how to get their extraordinary leave (EOL) on medical grounds sanctioned for pension purposes. They took EOL for TB treatment between 2000-2003, had unauthorised absence charges dropped, and were later reposted and retired. The Department of Education is currently refusing to sanction this EOL, hindering their pension application. Suggestions include using the RTI Act to inquire about the delay and considering legal action like a formal notice or writ petition.
