The Bombay high court bench, headed by Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar, while setting aside Roy's appointment which was made in February 2008, had directed the state to appoint a new DGP after a fresh selection process.
The court gave the state four weeks to do so and stayed its order for two weeks. This meant that Roy would not have to step down immediately.
Roy sent his leave application to additional chief secretary (home) Chitkala Zutshi, the report added.
