Sir,
Kindly clarify the rules for availing compensatory off
As per leave rules leave cannot be claimed as a right. But it is said above that Casual leave is not a recognized form of leave and is not subject to any rules made by the Government of India. An official on Casual Leave is not treated as absent from duty and pay is not intermitted. From the above my opinion is that, the competent authority can not refuse the casual leave when applied for. If an official has asked for a casual leave and the competent authority has not granted the same. And even then the official is remained absent, the competent authority can not withhold his pay for that period. Please clarify whether my opinion is correct or otherwise.
