As per case facts, the appellant, a junior resident at PGIMER, frequently absented himself from his MD course over a long period, citing medical issues, marriage, and natural calamities. The ... institute contended he was a consistent absentee, had taken numerous leaves, and had even joined Indian Railways without approval, blocking a valuable academic seat. Though he submitted a resignation, which was accepted in principle, making him liable for a significant bond penalty, he later sought to rejoin, claiming his resignation was not formally accepted and he was pressured to resign. He appealed the Single Judge's dismissal of his writ petition to rejoin the course and waive the penalty. The question arose whether the appellant, given his prolonged absence, employment elsewhere, and suppression of material facts, could be permitted to rejoin his course and be exempted from the bond penalty. Finally, the High Court affirmed the Single Judge's decision, finding the appellant suppressed material facts and was not genuinely interested in the course. It held he is bound by the bond conditions, noting his actions damaged public interest by blocking a seat.
