Department of Cultural Studies to since 19/05/05

Note From the records of the personal file of Mr. P. Dutta, Lecturer, Department of Cultural Studies it appears that Mr. Dutta remained frequently absent from duties and most of his absence was on ground of his illness supp01ied by medical certificate. The BoM in its meeting held on 15/12/02 directed Mr. Dutta to have a thorough medical check up. It was intimated to Mr. Dutta vide letter dated 17/12/02. But Mr. Dutta failed to comply with and he was absent from duties during the following period:

Decision:

1. 16/12/02 to 04/02/03 (it includes Semester Break from 01/01/02 to 15/01/03)

2. 21104/04 to 30/07/04 (it includes Semester Break from 26/06/04 to 27/07/04)

Mr. Dutta was again reminded about the BoM's decision vide letter dated 10/05/04 to have a thorough medical check up. This time he submitted medical certificate of illness from 21/04/04. In the meantime, he has submitted leave application for the above absence alongwith medical certificate.

Before granting him leave, the authority again asked Mr. Dutta to go for a thorough medical examination and to submit report immediately vide letter dated 21/12/04. Mr. Dutta could not submit the same.

Again Mr. Dutta has been absent from duty since 15/03/05 till date. Mr. Dutta was asked vide letter dated 19/05/05 to show cause why appropriate disciplinary action shall not be taken against him for the unauthorized absence from 15/03/05. In reply, Mr. P. Dutta has submitted Medical certificate from a Yoga Therapist of Kanaklata Civil Hospital in suppmi of his absence. The Jt. Director, Health & Family Welfare Department, Govt. of Assam has been requested to clarify whether the certificate from a Yoga Therapist can be considered for this purpose.

The absence of Shri Dutta from his duty has adversely affected the teaching programme in the department.

From the above statement of facts it is clear that there are lapses on the part of Shri Dutta which amounts to misconduct on the pmi of a University Teacher (under section 11.0 of the Statute 44 ).

Lapses : Failure to perfonn assigned duties Refusal to carry out the decision of the appropriate administrative body Negligence to duty.

In view of above matters is placed for appropriate action. The Board of Management after a thorough discussion decided to initiate departmental proceedings against Sri P. Dutta, Lecturer, Depmiment of Cultural Studies.
