The court dismissed the administrative claim against the elected president of the provincial council and junta regarding his unjustified absence from service. The plaintiff argued that the absence constituted a fault, while the defendant contended that the role is not mandatory and requires ministerial authorization for exercise. The court ruled that without such authorization, the absence cannot be deemed unjustified, thereby protecting the elected official's right to decline mandatory duties.

SUMÁRIO

O cargo de presidente do conselho provincial e da junta de provincia não e de exercicio obrigatorio, podendo o eleito livremente escusar-se.

Assim, as faltas dadas ao serviço por funcionario publico eleito para esse cargo não podem considerar-se justificadas se o eleito não tinha autorização ministerial para o respectivo exercicio.
