(c)Superintendents are also empowered to grant leave to Sub-Inspectors and officers of lower rank. If the number of Sub-Inspectors to whom the Superintendent finds it necessary to grant leave exceeds the number of Sub-Inspectors provided for the casualty reserve of a district, he should, if substitutes are required, first ascertain from the Deputy Inspector-General whether it will be possible to provide substitutes from the reserve of other districts in the Range. If the Deputy Inspector-General cannot provide substitutes, the Superintendent shall curtail the grant of leave.
