Some people are under the wrong impression that CL should be sanctioned with reference to the duty period. In some cases, CL is refused to the employees who retire in the earlier part of the year. It is not correct CL may be sanctioned to an approved Probationer without any reference to the period spent on duty. 12days CL may be allowed in January itself to an employee. Only condition is that the CL availed at a lime should not exceed ten days including holiday and compensatory leave ( Eleven days, in case, the Eleventh day is declared as a holiday) – Govt.Lr.No.61559/82-4, P&A.R.dt.17.1.1983.
