Note:- 1) Officiating employees in Class II Service who apply for

leave during their officiating period may be granted leave from the
date of their reversion to posts in Class III Service only by the
authorities competent to grant leave to the holders of the posts in

2) For calculation of ‘extra cost or expense’ as referred to

in column (4) of the above table, expenditure on transit pay and
traveling allowance may be disregarded, but charges such as
increased remuneration granted to an employee under regulations
of the service regulations should be taken into account.

9. Reckoning of leave:- Leave ordinarily begins on the day on

which transfer of charge is effected and ends on the day preceding
that on which charge is resumed.
 13

10. a) Prefixing and affixing of holidays to leave:- When the day

immediately preceding the day on which an employee’s leave
begins or immediately following the day on which his leave or
joining time expires is a holiday or one of a series of holidays, the
employee may leave his station at the close of the day before, or
return to it in the day following such holidays or series of holidays
provided that-

1) his transfer or assumption of charge does not involve the

handling or taking over of securities or of moneys other than a
permanent advance;

2) his early departure does not entail a correspondingly

early transfer from another station of an employee to perform his
duties; and

3) the delay in his return does not involve a corresponding

delay in the transfer to another station of the employee who was
performing his duties during his absence or in the discharge from
service of a person temporarily appointed to it.

b) On condition that the departing employee remains

responsible for the moneys in his charge, the Chief Engineer may
declare the provision (1) under clause (a) is not applicable to any
particular case.

c) Unless the authority sanctioning the leave or transfer in any

case otherwise directs-

1) If holidays are prefixed to leave, the leave, and any

consequent rearrangement of pay and allowances take effect from
the first day after the holidays, and

2) If holidays are affixed to leave or joining time, the

leave or joining time is treated as having terminated on, and any
consequent rearrangement of pay and allowances take effect from
 14
the day on which the leave on joining time would have ended
holidays had not been affixed.

Explanation:- 1) In deciding whether the absence of an employee

during holidays involves the transfer of an employee from another
station for the purpose of this regulation, account should be taken
only of the substitute who takes the place of the absent employee
not of all the employees in the chain of arrangements arising from
the employee’s absence on leave.

2) The term ‘holiday’ used in Clauses (a) and (c) above

should be held to mean:-

a) a holiday prescribed or notified by the Board, and

b) with reference to any particular office, a day on which

such office is ordered, by notification of the Board to be closed for
the transaction of public business without reserve or qualification.

The term does not include such local holidays as may be

granted at the discretion of heads of offices not holidays which are
merely permissible or discretionary.

Note: 1) Optional religious holidays may be prefixed or affixed to

leave.

2) Compensatory leave may be allowed to be prefixed or

affixed to regular leave or casual leave subject to the usual
conditions.

Explanation:- 3) When holidays intervene between two spells of

leave they should be treated as leave.

Explanation:- 4) Local holidays can not be permitted to be

prefixed or affixed to leave as such holidays can not be regarded as
holidays contemplated in explanation 2 above.
 15
Explanation:- 5) The following procedure is prescribed when
holidays area permitted to be prefixed or affixed to leave:-

i) When they are prefixed to leave, the Board employee

proceeding on leave will report before leaving the station, or if for
urgent reason the leave is granted during holidays, as soon as it is
granted, that he will cease to discharge the duties of his post with
effect from the end of the holidays. The relieving Board employee
will then assume the duties of the post at the end of the holidays in
the ordinary course.

ii) When holidays are affixed to leave, the officiating

Board employee will be relieved in the ordinary way before the
holidays and the officer on leave will return at the end of the
holidays but will be regarded as having assumed the duties of the
post with effect from the commencement of the holidays.

iii) Except in case covered by (i) and (ii) above,

instructions under Service Regulations 18 of Part I which requires
transfer of charge certificates to be signed by both the relieved and
relieving employees on the day on which charge is transferred
should be strictly followed.

11. Acceptance of employment while on leave:- 1) An employee

on leave may not take service or accept any employment without
obtaining the previous sanction of :-

a) the Board, if the proposed service or employment lies

elsewhere than in India; and

b) the authority empowered to appoint him if the proposed

service of employment lies in India.

2) The leave salary of an employee who is permitted to

take up employment under a private employer or any Government
during leave, shall be subject to such restrictions as the Board may
by order prescribe.
 16
Note: This regulation does not apply to casual literary work or
service as an examiner or similar employment.

3) No employee who immediately before going on

leave preparatory to retirement held a post in Class I or Class II
Service in a permanent or officiating capacity should be permitted,
excess for special reasons, to accept any employment, until such
leave expires.

Note: This regulation should not be construed as permitting an

employee who avails himself of leave on medical certificate to
undertake employment during such leave.

4) Employment during leave preparatory to retirement

or during leave granted after the date of superannuation.

i) When an employee, who is on leave preparatory to

retirement is re-employed in any post under the Board, he may
continue to enjoy his leave concurrently with such re-employment
but his leave salary which may be drawn in addition to the pay of
the post in which he is re-employed, will be restricted to the
amount of leave salary admissible in respect of leave on half pay.

ii) No leave will be earned in respect of such period of

employment during leave. During such employment he may also
be granted dearness and compensatory allowances, if any,
admissible on the basis of pay. These allowances will neither be
admissible on leave salary nor will the leave salary be taken into
account in calculating the allowances.

iii) When an employee of the Board is permitted, during

leave preparatory to retirement before attaining the age of
superannuation or during leave under Regulation 28(b) to take up
employment under the Union Government or a State Government
or under a private employer or local body, his leave salary will also
be restricted as in (ii) above.
 17
iv) During re-employment after retirement from
pensionable service an employee’s pension is either held in
abeyance or is allowed to be drawn separately, a suitable reduction
being made in the re-employed pay wherever necessary. An
employee whose pension is drawn separately during re-
employment and who proceeds on earned leave or half pay leave or
commuted leave, will be entitled to leave salary based on the net
re-employed pay (i.e., exclusive of the pension and/or pension
equivalent of gratuity) and will continue to draw the pension
separately in addition. An employee whose pension has been held
in abeyance will draw the leave salary based on the net re-
employed pay (i.e., pay minus the amount of the uncommuted
pension and/or pension equivalent or gratuity and in addition an
amount equivalent to the pension which was held in abeyance.

During the period of extraordinary leave an employee

whose pension has been held in abeyance will be allowed to draw
only an amount equivalent to the pension which was held in
abeyance. Where the pension is drawn separately it will continue
to be so drawn during the period of extraordinary leave also.

12. 1) Recall from leave:- All orders recalling an employee to

duty before the expiry of his leave should state whether his return
to duty is optional or compulsory. If the return is optional, the
employee is entitled to no concession. If it is compulsory, he is
entitled to be treated as on duty from the date on which he starts for
the station to which he is ordered, and to draw traveling allowance
under the regulations made in this behalf for the journey but to
draw until he joins his post leave-salary only.

2) Term to be granted to employees on leave during leave

preparatory to retirement:-

When an employee who has proceeded on leave preparatory

to retirement is required for employment during such leave in any
post under the Board and he is recalled to duty with his consent,
such recall will be treated as optional for the purpose of this
regulation.
 18

13. Production of Medical Certificate:- No employee who has

been granted leave on medical certificate may return to duty
without first producing a medical certificate of fitness in the form
prescribed in clause (c) below:

b) The authority by whom leave has been granted to an

employee for reasons of health, though not on a medical certificate
has power to require the submission of a medical certificate of
fitness before he returns from leave.

c) An employee who has taken leave on medical

certificate may not return to duty until he has produced a medical
certificate of fitness in the following form:-

Signature of applicant :

We the members of a Medical Board/Civil Surgeon or

………………………………………………………………………
a registered medical practitioner of
…………………………………. do hereby certify that We/I have
carefully examined A, B, C of the
………………………………………. whose signature is given
above, and find the he has recovered from his illness and is now fit
to resume duties in Board’s service. We/I have examined the
original medical certificates and statements of the case (or certified
copies thereof, on which leave was granted or extended) and have
taken these into consideration in arriving at our/my decision.

d) If the employee, on leave is an employee in

Class I or II Service who has taken leave on certificate granted by a
Medical Board, the certificate of fitness to return to duty should
also be from a Medical Board except;

1) in case in which the leave is for not more than

ninety days, or
 19
2) in cases in which the leave is for more than 90 days
or leave for 90 days or less is extended beyond 90 days but the
Medical committee granting the original certificate or the
certificate for extension state at the time of granting such certificate
that the employee need not appear before another Committee for
obtaining the certificate of fitness to return to duty.

In the cases in items (1) and (2) above, the certificate should
be signed by a Commissioned Medical Officer or a Government
Medical Officer incharge of a civil station.

e) If the employee on leave does not belong to Class I

or Class II Service the authority under which the employee will be
employed on return from leave may, in its discretion, accept a
certificate signed by any registered medical practitioner.

14. Return to duty before expiry of leave:- 1) An employee on

leave may not return to duty before the expiry of the period of
leave granted to him, unless he is permitted to do so by the
authority which granted him leave.

2) Not withstanding anything contained in sub-

regulation (1) an employee on leave preparatory to retirement shall
be precluded from withdrawing it his request for permission to
retire and from returning to duty.

Note: 1) An employee desiring to return to duty within the period

of his leave should communicate his desire to the authority which
sanctioned the leave sufficiently early to enable suitable
arrangements to be made.

2) An employee returning to duty at a time other than that

fixed for him by the authority which granted him leave has no
claim to be appointed to any particular post and will be allowed to
join only when a suitably vacancy occurs.
 20
3) No formal cancellation of the unexpired portion of leave
is necessary when an employee returns to duty before the expiry of
his leave.

15. Overstayal of leave:- 1) An employee who remains absent

after the end of his leave, the period of such overstayal of leave
should, unless the leave is extended by the competent authority, be
treated as follows:-

a) If he is in Class I, Class II or Class III Service:-

i) as leave on private affairs to the extent such leave is due,

unless the overstayal is supported by a medical certificate;

ii) an leave on medical certificate to the extent such leave is

due if the overstayal is supported by a medical certificate;

iii) as extraordinary leave to the extent the period of leave

due on private affairs or on medical certificate fall short of the
period of overstayal.

b) If the employee is in Class IV Service as in Clause (a)

(ii) and (iii) above Mutatis Mutandis.

2) The employee is not entitled to leave salary during such

overstayal of leave not covered by an extension of leave by the
competent authority.

3) Willful absence from duty after the expiry of leave

should be treated as misbehaviour and disciplinary proceedings
should be initiated against the employee.

4) Unauthorised absence:- Leave for longer duration of

more than a month shall be availed by the Board employee with
prior sanction of the competent authority any absence without prior
sanction shall be treated as unauthorized absence. If the period of
unauthorized absence of a Board employee exceeds one month, the
period of such unauthorized absence shall be treated as
 21
‘DIES-NON’ and the employee shall also be liable for disciplinary
action.

Note: A temporary employee of the Board working under

emergency provisions who remains absent from duty after applying
for leave or extension of leave to which he is not entitled to under
the regulations shall be deemed to have been discharged from duty
with effect from the date from which he is not entitled to any leave
unless the leave applied for is granted by the Board in relaxation of
relevant regulations.

regular Board Employee in Class I, II and III Service should be
credited with 30 days Earned Leave in a year in two instalments of

The account of leave of each emergency Board employee

and each Board Employee in Class IV service who has put in less
than 15 years of regular service and whose earning capacity is
1/22nd of the period spent on duty should be credited with 16 days
earned leave in a year in two instalemnts of 8 days on the first of
January and July every year.

The leave at the credit of the employees at the close of the

previous half-year shall be carried forward to the next half year
subject to the leave so carried forward plus the credit for that half
year not exceeding the maximum limit of 240 days in respect of
regular Board Employees in Class I, II and III Service and regular
employees in Class IV service with more than 15 years service of

(a) Class IV Board employees with less than 15 years of regular

service .. 15 days

(b) Emergency Board Employees in Class IV/Class – I, II & III

earned leave should be credited to his leave account at the rate of 2
and ½ days for each completed month of service which he is likely
to render in the calendar half-year in which he is appointed e.g., if
he is appointed on 13th March, the number of complete months of
his service in that half-year will be 3 and the credit will be 3 x 5/2
= 7 ½ days rounded to 8 days. If he is appointed on 20 th April, the
number of complete months will be only 2 and the credit will be 2
x 5/2 = 5 days.

(b) In respect of an emergency Board employee in Class-I, II &

The credit for the 1half year in which a Board employee is due to
retire or resigns from the service, shall be afforded only at the rate
of 2 ½ days per completed month in that year upto the date of

private work at home is not therefore accepted for purposes of
study leave.

26. Ordinary Casual Leave:- a) Casual leave is not recognized as

leave due or earned under the leave regulations. It is a concession
to enable employees in special circumstances to be absent for short
periods. An employee on casual leave is not treated as absent from
duty, provided that the employee (except on an occasion beyond
his control) applies for and obtains prior sanction from the
competent authority. It is open to the competent authority in case
of absence from duty without obtaining prior sanction for casual
leave to require the employee to furnish proof to show that his
absence was for reasons beyond his control. If satisfied with such
proof, the competent authority may grant the leave.

15 days in a calendar year. Casual leave may be combined with
optional holidays or Sundays or other holidays provided that the
resulting period of absence does not exceed 10 days.

casual leave, an employee has either overstayed the period of
causal leave sanctioned to him or has absented himself without
prior permission without sufficiently satisfactory reasons or is

inspite of warning, such absence will not be treated as casual leave
and will be treated as misconduct.

c) The Chief Engineer should intimate his intention of

taking casual leave to the Chairman of the Board.

d) A register of casual leave taken should be maintained in

every office.

e) Members of works establishment may be granted casual

leave on full pay or on reduced wages.

f) In the case of employees appointed on a purely temporary

basis and who are likely to be ousted at any time, their eligibility
for casual leave shall be calculated with reference to the period

the rate of one day for every month’s service. It may be combined
with holidays subject to the maximum prescribed under Regulation
26(a).

purperal Tubectomy operation for the second time, he/she should
be normally granted 5/6 days Special Casual Leave again

prescribed Medical Authority to the effect that first operation was a
failure and therefore the second was actually performed.

may however, sanction such combination in special cases provided
there is no evasion of the regulations, for instance when an
employee, obliged to be absent owing to the prevalence of
infectious disease in his house and placed on special casual leave,
himself contacts the illness and has to be granted regular leave in
continuation.
 45

not ordinarily result in any appreciable extra expenditure to the
Board. Care should be taken to see that no employee is allowed to
proceed on casual leave or avail himself of holidays frequently if
he has actually to be relieved on such occasions and the payment of
traveling allowance to another officer thereby becomes necessary.
28. Lapsing of leave at credit:-(a) Leave admissible under these
regulations shall lapse on the date on which an employee must
compulsorily retire.
Refusal of leave preparatory to retirement:

(b) If in sufficient time before the date of compulsory

retirement, an employee other than in class IV Service, has been
denied in whole or in part, on account of exigencies of Board’s
service, any leave applied for and due as preparatory to retirement,
then he may be granted, after the date of compulsory retirement,
the amount of earned leave which was denied subject to the
maximum limit of 180 days, as prescribed in regulation 16(1) so
long as the leave so granted, including the leave granted to him
between the date from which the leave preparatory to retirement
was to commence and the date of compulsory retirement does not
exceed the amount of leave preparatory to retirement actually
denied. The half pay leave if any applied for by an employee
preparatory to retirement and denied in the exigencies of Board’s
service may be exchanged with earned leave to the extent such
leave was earned between the day from which the leave preparatory
to retirement was to commence and the date of compulsory
retirement.
 46

Note: (1) Leave which is not preparatory to retirement and which is

refused by the competent authority in the interest of Board’s
service will not entitle an employee to the protection of this
regulation after the date of superannuation.

(2) The authority other than the Board competent to grant

leave preparatory to retirement shall not be competent to refuse
under regulation 28(b). Such leave shall be refused only by the
Board. The leave so refused shall be granted by the Board.

(3) Compulsory recall of any employee from leave

preparatory to retirement or leave sanctioned preparatory to
retirement but which could not be enjoyed due to the exigencies of
service should be deemed to be a constructive refusal of the
balance of leave un-enjoyed or a constructive refusal of leave for
purposes of this regulation.

(4) When an employee who has proceeded on leave

preparatory to retirement is required for employment during such
leave in any post under the Board, he will be recalled to duty and
the unexpired portion of his leave from the date of rejoining duty
will be cancelled. The leave so cancelled will be treated as leave
refused under this regulation and it may be granted from the date of
compulsory retirement of the employee. Such recall will be treated
as “optional” for the purposes of regulation 12.

(5) The grant, under regulation 28, of leave extending

beyond the date on which an employee must compulsorily retire, or
beyond the date upto which an employee has been permitted to
remain in service, shall not be treated as sanctioning an extension
of service for the purposes of pensionary and C.P.F. benefits or the
retention of lien. The employee shall retire and become eligible for
all pensionary benefits as due to him on the date compulsory
retirement or such other later date if any extension of service is
granted from the date of expiry of such leave.
 47
(6) Permission to accept private employment concurrently
with leave preparatory to retirement shall not ordinarily be granted
to an employee with a view to take up private employment during
the period of such leave. The services of such an employee shall be
placed at the disposal of the private employer only on the usual
foreign service terms till he/she attains the age of superannuation.
As the permission to take up private employment is only a
concession to the employee, the balance of the leave preparatory to
retirement not availed or by him/her as a result of cancellation in
order to take up private employment shall not be deemed as
constructive refusal of such leave for purposes of this regulation.
The return to duty in such cases has to be treated as optional for
purposes of regulation 12.

(7) Application for leave preparatory to retirement should

be made at least two months before the date of commencement of
the leave applied for. Proposals to refuse leave shall be forwarded
to the Board and orders obtained on it 15 days before
commencement of the leave applied for.

may be taken to be the pay which he would draw in the permanent
post held substantively by him at the time of taking leave if this pay
be more than the average pay. The leave salary of an employee
holding a post in Class III service substantively and proceeding on
leave from a post under Class I or II service should be regulated by
the main regulation.

interpreted according to the definition in regulation 10(17) of

employee to duty. This does not however have the effect of
postponing date of accrual of future increments.
 49

with reference to the post which he was holding whether in a
substantive or in an officiating capacity before proceeding on leave.

5) When an employee in Class III Service is appointed to

officiate in Class I or II service, the audit officer should at once call
for his leave account and maintain it. When he takes leave he
should be treated as continuing to hold the status of an employee
under Class I or II Service during his leave for all practical purpose
(i.e. for purposes of issue of notifications, drawal of leave salary
and other allowances, grant of leave or extension of leave on
medical certificate etc.,) irrespective of whether the leave counts
for increment or not, whether but for his going on leave, he would
have continued to officiate in the post under Class I or II service or
not and whether on the expiry of his leave he would return to his
post under Class I or II service or not.

extension of leave on medical certificate must be accompanied by a

medical practitioner. Such certificate should distinctly state the
nature of the illness, its symptoms, probable causes and duration,
the period of absence from duty considered to be absolutely
necessary for the restoration of the applicant’s health and the date
from which such absence should take effect. In case where the

 66
authority competent to grant the leave may in its discretion either
accept the certificate or secure a second medical opinion by
sending the applicant for medical examination either to the District
Medical Officer or to the nearest gazetted Government Medical
Officer available. Should it decide to secure a second medical
opinion, it must arrange for the Medical examination to be made on
the earliest possible date after the date on which the first medical
opinion was given. It will be the duty of the District Medical
Officer or the other Medical Officer, as the case may be, to make
an independent examination of the applicant and on the basis of
such examination to express an opinion both as regards the facts of
the illness and as regards the amount of leave required.

does not itself confer upon the employee concerned any right to
leave.

without the cognizance of the head of the office in which the
applicant is serving.

(9) The countersigning officer may, in his discretion,

require the applicant to appear before him, unless it appears from
the certificate of his medical attendant that he is too ill to bear the
journey. In the later case, the officer may, after careful
investigation of the case, either countersign the certificate or refuse
to do so, as he thinks fit.

(10) Procedure in the case of employees in Class IV Service:-

In support of an application for leave or for an extension of

leave may accept such medical certificates as it may deem
sufficient.

ABSTRACT

Establishment - A.P.S.E. Board – Sanction of duty leave to Board

Employees for prosecuting higher Studies – Instructions - Issued.
B.P. (P&G-Per)Ms. No. 310 Dated: 15-9-1990

Read the following:-

PROCEEDINGS:

Several representations are being received by the Board

from the employees both permanent and temporary for sanction of
leave including Extraordinary leave for long duration to enable
them to complete the higher studies proposed to be prosecuted or
already undertaken by them before their entry into Board service on
first appointment. No doubt the prosecution of higher studies by
the employees will enhance the usefulness of their services to the
Organization for which the employees are being rewarded by
sanction of advance increments for certain advanced courses of
study like M.Tech, in Engineering and C.A in Accounts Service
etc., by way of encouragement vide B.P.Ms.No. 1288 dt: 8-12-
1989. But the liberalization of the treatment of absence of the
employees in connection with their studying higher specialized
courses as leave eligible, including E.O.L in relaxation of the
provisions in the Leave Regulations, is resulting in the concerned
employees after successful completion of the course of studies
deserting the employment under Board, securing employment
elsewhere. Thereby the Board virtually had become a training
centre for such employees.

2. To check the tendency of the employees to desert

employment under Board after their successful completion of
higher studies, the Board issues the following orders:-
 110
In case any employee applies for sanction of leave
including E.O.L for longer duration exceeding one year or period
of completion of academic course in the respective faculties for
undertaking higher studies, he may be required to make cash
deposit of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with Board,
which will not bear interest, as long as the employee continues to
be on leave and his/her shadow lien and seniority rights are
maintained in the Board Service as result of the leave for longer
duration granted. If the employee does not resume duty in the
Board Service after completion of course of study and on expiry of
leave sanctioned, the deposit will be forfeited and no refund is
made. Such forfeiture will be without prejudice to the claims of the
Board to institute appropriate legal proceedings against the
employee concerned for the amounts recoverable towards other
dues to Board including Bond amount in name of direct recruitees
besides losses caused to the Board if any.

3. These orders will come into force with immediate effect

and shall apply to all cases of leave sanctions for longer duration
for study purposes. Any omission in implementation of the orders
will render the concerned Officer sanctioning the leave liable for
disciplinary action.

4. The receipt of the B.P. should be acknowledged early.

PROCEEDINGS:-

According to Regulation 24 of APSEB Leave Regulations

maternity leave may be granted to permanent married female Board
employees for a period which may extend upto three months in
case of confinement and six weeks in cases of miscarriage. A non-
permanent woman employee should take in such cases ordinary
leave to which she is entitled. If however, she had been in service
for not less than one year before the commencement of the leave,
and if she is not eligible for any leave on full pay, or if the leave to
her credit is less than three months in case of confinement and six
weeks in case of miscarriage, maternity leave may be granted for a
period not exceeding three months/six weeks or for the period that
falls short of three months/six weeks, as the case may be.

2. As per para 7(2) of G.O.Ms.No.384 Finance & Planning

dated 5-11-77, as adopted vide B.P. first read above, maternity
leave granted to a female Board employee shall be for a period of
90 days in all cases. It was clarified in the Memo. Second read
above that the maternity leave granted to female Board employees
 171
holds good even for temporary employees who have not even
completed three months of service. The Government of Andhra
Pradesh in the G.O. third read above have restricted the grant of
maternity leave to marked women employees with less than two
surviving children.

3. After careful consideration the APSEB issues the following

Sub:- Estt – APSEB – Entitlement of surrender of Earned
Leave for encashment for the period of suspension /
dismissal / compulsory retirement subsequently
treated as duty – Instructions – Issued.
---
Certain employees of Board who were
suspended/dismissed/compulsorily retired on grave charges on
misconduct and in respect of whom the said period was treated as
duty with full pay and allowances, have requested to sanction
surrender of Earned Leave for encashment during the said period,
on the plea that the period was treated as duty with full pay and
allowances.

2. The above issue has been carefully examined and it is

observed that the principle underlying sanction of surrender of
Earned Leave without actually going on leave is that the employee
will work for the organization instead of taking leave, so that the
organization get benefited by his service. In such cases as
mentioned in para-1 above, the employees are actually not on duty
in its strict sense during the period of their
suspension/dismissal/compulsory retirement though that period is
treated as duty with full pay and allowances.
3. In view of the above, it is hereby ordered that the Board
employees who are suspended/dismissed/compulsorily retired are
not entitled for surrender of Earned Leave for encashment purpose
for the said period even if the period is treated as duty with fully
pay and allowances.
4. The cases already finalized on the date of issue of this Memo.

2. Instances have come to the notice of the Board hat on

receipt of leave applications, the competent leave sanctioning
authorities/intermediate officers are not taking immediate action
either to sanction the leave or reject the same or refer the applicant
to the Medical Board in case of doubt, if the leave applied for is on
medical grounds. The applicants after a long absence for which
they have submitted their leave applications earlier are approaching
for reposting orders. When disciplinary action is initiated in such
cases for unauthorized absence, the applicants are contending that
they have applied for the leave well in advance and extending from
time to time and they are hoping that their leave would be
sanctioned. This contention can not be agreed to.

Medical Board, acknowledgement shall be obtained from the
employee for such orders and preserve them for taking disciplinary
action.
