English translation of the principle

The legal presumption of a public employee's resignation. It is not established in his favour but is an option available to the administration. It may exercise it and deem him resigned from the date of his absence, or overlook it and reinstate him in his work. If it reinstates him in his work, it may not invoke that in respect of which it has relinquished its right.
Arabic original
القرينة القانونية على استقالة الموظف العام. ليست مقررة لصالحه بل هي رخصة للإدارة. لها استعمالها واعتباره مستقيلاً من تاريخ انقطاعه ولها التغاضي عنه وإعادته إلى عمله. إعادتها إياه على عمله فلا يجوز لها التمسك بما أسقطت حقها فيه.
