5. Repeal and savings.

(1)The Uttar Pradesh Fundamental Rule 56 (Amendment and Validation) Ordinance, 1975 (U.P. Ordinance No. 14 of 1975) is hereby repealed.
(2)Notwithstanding such repeal anything done or any action taken under the said Ordinance shall be deemed to have been done or taken under the Act, as if this Act had come into force on June 7, 1975.Selected Leave RulesUnder Regulation 99, Chapter III framed under Section 16-G of the Intermediate Education Act, casual leave, earned leave, medical leave, maternity leave, leave on private affairs and extraordinary leave can be allowed to Principals, Headmasters, Teachers and other servants for such periods and subject to such conditions as the State Government may decide for similar employees in Government Higher Secondary Schools or may by special order and subject to such exceptional provisions as necessitated by special circumstances direct. Granting authorities are also laid down in Regulation 99.The employees of the Government institutions are subject to leave rules generally meant for the State Government employees. These rules are found in the Financial Handbook, Vol. II, Chapter X, Rules 58 to 104, pages 16 to 135 in 1969 Edition.In addition there are subsidiary rules made by the Government under rule-making powers conferred on him by the Fundamental Rules of Chapter X said above. Together all this yields a voluminous literature and there are also special provisions for special kinds of services.Further, difficulties arisen have been removed by audit instructions etc, printed in the Financial Handbook. Reading at these provisions together and interpreting them authoritatively, in full detail, is a specialised job, requiring a separate big book by itself.In his volume we have to content, ourselves with publication of selected Rules explaining leave and its kinds (as mentioned in the aforesaid Regulation 99) and laying down period for which they are due to the Government School employees and now, therefore, to other recognised schools also. - For other details and complications the Fundamental Rules, Chapter X and the connected subsidiary rules may be constituted.Leave is not a right: - Leave cannot be claimed as of right. These provisions have been made in the rules because it is not always possible to let all who want leave at a particular time to have it at that time and there is a limit beyond which depletion of staff cannot be permitted without dislocating the working of an establishment.Right to ask the leave: - Right to ask for a particular kind of leave rests with the Government servant. The authority empowered to grant leave has not been given the power to alter the nature of leave, though he has the power to refuse or revoke leave at any time according to the exigencies of the public service.As provided in F.R. 67 Leave can not be claimed as of right : - Leave, although a privilege, cannot be refused by the sanctioning authority except on reasonable grounds. F.R. 67 does not, therefore confer a certe blanche to the leave sanctioning authority to refuse leave to a Government servant at its pleasure, when it is refused it must have a reference to the exigencies of service contrarily it does not also follow that a Government servant is entitled to proceed on leave, even when the leave is due, without obtaining prior sanction of the leave sanctioning authority. It will be a gross misdemeanour on the part of the concerned employee if he does so.There may be occasions when under compelling circumstances an employee may not obtain prior permission before leaving the State on leave, such as sudden death of a near relative or a serious sickness in the family. Such cases deserve special consideration and should be decided on their own merits. The leave sanctioning authority has also an equitable obligation to accommodate an employee's right for leave as far as practicable. It would be a good workable formula of exigencies of service are balanced against private interest in so far as it satisfies both ends without injuring wider public interest.Leave Regulations[81-B. (1) Earned leave. [Substituted vide Notification No. G-4-1071/X-92-201-76 dated 21st December, 1992 Published in U.P.

(12)Typical question on leave:Question No. 1. - A clerk absented himself from duty for 15 days on the grounds of illness after submitting a leave application. The leave sanctioning authority disbelieved the statement of clerk and granted him extraordinary leave for this period, although the clerk had applied for earned leave on average pay and the leave application was supported with a medical certificate. The leave applied for was due to him. Has the action of the officer been right?Answer. - In terms of Fundamental Rule 85, extraordinary leave can be sanctioned only when no other kind of leave is due, or when it is specifically applied for. In the present case, because leave on average pay as due to the clerk, which he had duly applied for the nature of the leave was not to be altered. The grant of extraordinary leave therefore has not been in order.Question No. 2 - An officer applied for leave on average pay for 30 days which was admissible to him; but the leave sanctioning authority wanted to punish the officer because the officer was in habit of too frequently taking the leave, extraordinary leave was accordingly sanctioned to the officer. Has the officer been lightly punished?Answer. - When the officer applied for leave on average pay, which was due to him, it was irregular to have granted to him the extraordinary leave, as it is not open to a leave sanctioning authority to alter the nature of leave.Question No. 3. - A Government servant applied for 60 days' leave on average pay followed by leave on half-average pay for 90 days. The leave was certified as admissible. The leave sanctioning authority, however, proposes to grant him only one month's leave on average pay and two months leave on half average pay. Comment on the proposal.Answer. - The proposal is not in order as the nature of the leave; which is due and applied for cannot be altered at the option of the leave sanctioning authority.Question No. 4. - An officer availed 120 days' earned leave on average pay in accordance with the rules. After two months of his joining duty, he again applied for earned leave, which was also due to him. In his application no exceptional circumstance were quoted by the officer should the leave applied for be granted?Answer. - This should not be granted in terms of subsidiary Rule 99 (A) whereby, an interval between two spells of earned leave should be three months, unless there be some most exceptional circumstance. However, when any such leave is specially sanctioned, the sanctioning authority should record the reasons for the same.Question No. 5. - A Government servant was found guilty in a disciplinary proceeding case and the Competent authority ordered that the official should be granted 120 'days' on average pay 90 days' leave on private affairs on half average pay and thereafter he may be treated as compulsorily retired. Has this action been right.Answer. - The action has not been right. A Government servant for whom a competent punishing authority has decided to dismiss, remove or compulsorily retire from Government service cannot be granted any kind of leave. He should accordingly be treated as retired from the date of order, served on him.Question No. 6. - An unmarried woman Government servant gave birth to a child. She has applied for maternity leave. Should it be sanctioned to her?Answer. - In the definition of maternity leave, the word used is a "female Government servant" to whom it could be sanctioned, with no distinction whether she is married or unmarried.Question No. 7. - A Government servant on medical leave returns back 15 days before the expiry of the leave granted to him. He produces a medical certificate of fitness. Should be allowed to join?Answer. - Under F.R. 72, the officer will not be allowed to join unless he is permitted to do so by the authority which granted leave.Question No. 8. - A Government servant was on leave for 30 days. He did not return to duty upto 7 days of the expiry of leave. How this period will be treated and what leave salary will be allowed to the officer?Answer. - In terms of F.R. 73, no leave salary will be allowed to him and the period of 7 days will be debited to his leave account as leave on his average pay.F.R. (Ch. X, Rule 60). - Leave is earned by duty only.
