I think in past perfect tense we use 3rd form of verb so in place of attending. I put attended.

Remember, for is used with a period of time.
Since is used to refer to a specific point in time.
You can use "for" and "since" with similar verb tenses.
I have been walking for five hours.
I have been walking since 10 p.m.
We have lived here for 20 years.
We have lived here since 1985.
In the example sentences, both for and since show an event that began in the past and continues into the present.

I think this sentence should be "Mr. Praful Patel has not been attending office for the past one month".
Or
"Mr. Praful Patel has not been attending office since last month."
Or
"Mr. Praful Patel has not been attending office since last month."
