This matter is in knowledge of the administrative officer what is the final consequence in the legal view.

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the legal implications for a contract employee pursuing a regular degree course. The employee has been working on a contract basis since September 2021 and completed their degree in August 2022, with a slight delay due to COVID-19. The administrative officer is aware of the situation. The consensus is that as the course is completed and the employee is outsourced (not a direct government employee governed by CCS rules), there are unlikely to be any legal consequences, provided the contractor's standing orders don't stipulate otherwise.

Admittedly, he has already completed his course. And the authorities have no misgivings as to his devotion to duty. As such, there could be no issue at all or any legal consequences.

The course is stated to have been complete, what is the problem?

Pursuing the course is already in the knowledge of Adminstration of contractual employee /student, there is no issue.

It is the case of your friend, as stated by you, how and why you are concerned /worried ?

since he is outsourced employee, he is not employee of the deptt and not governed by CCS rules. He needed no permission and AO can do notingb (unless standing orders of the contractor manpower firm makes it obligatory)
