Absconding IAS Officer - Returned - Retired

IN DDT, 982 - 31.10.2008, we reported,

"An IAS officer, who had gone missing in the year 2000, has surfaced last week and a generous government has given him a posting. As per the Personnel Ministry's website, this officer was on leave from 1.8.2000 - How many years leave are these officers entitled to?

It seems the officer just left Government in 2000 and had taken up a job in the US and now in October 2008, things are not exactly rosy in Bushland and things are much brighter for the Indian Bureaucrat and so our IAS officer is back in service. Now he can safely retire from Government service after a couple of years and earn a huge pension from the government month after month! "

We are happy to report that this officer has retired on 31 December 2011, with all the irksome files about his absence closed.

Bureaucracy is all about Network!
