Can one resign in a normal way once a charge sheet for long-term (say 1 year) unauthorized absence has been issued against them, or will the resignation be held until the charge sheet processing is final? If a charge sheet has been issued and then one resigns, will anything special be mentioned in their service certificate?

Is your query from a real-life situation or hypothetical? When was the charge sheet issued, and when did the person resign? Before absconding, was the person sincere and good at work? Did he have any serious personal difficulties (like illness to self/spouse/child, etc)?

If the charge sheet was for unauthorized absence and the person resigns after a long gap, as an employer, what more interest do you have in that person? You can accept and close the case unless he has some commitments to fulfill contractually/as per the terms of the Appointment order. Mentioning anything in the service certificate is a decision to be made by the Management.

The employee was charge-sheeted to comply with the procedures before termination/dismissal of services. When an employee resigns, there is no harm in relieving them by accepting their resignation. If the charge sheet pertains to some misappropriation of funds or charges of moral turpitude, then the process of disciplinary proceedings should continue.
