Prefixing and suffixing of leave as per W.B.S.R, Part-I
155.(1) When the day immediately preceding the day on which a Government
employee’s leave (other than leave on medical certificate) begins or immediately with leave and following the day on which his leave expires, is a holiday or a series of holidays, the Government employee shall be deemed to have been permitted (except in cases where for administrative reasons permission for prefixing/suffixing holidays to leave is specifically withheld) to leave his station at the close of the day before, or return to it on the day following such holidays or series of holidays:
Provided thatβ
(a) his transfer or assumption of charge does not involve the handing or taking over of securities or of monies other than a permanent advance;
(b) his early departure does not entail a correspondingly early transfer from another station of a Government employee to perform his duties; and
(c) the delay in his return does not involve a correspondingly delay in the transfer to another station of the Government employee who was performing his duties during his absence, or in the discharge from Government service of a person temporarily appointed to it.
(2) In the case of leave on medical certificate-β
(a) when a Government employee is certified medically unwell to attend office, holiday(s), if any, immediately preceding the day he is so certified shall be allowed automatically to be prefixed to leave and the holiday(s), if any, immediately following the days he is so certified (including that day) shall be treated as part of the leave; and
(b) when a Government employee is certified medically fit for joining duty, holiday(s), if any, succeeding the day he is so certified (including that day) shall automatically be allowed to be suffixed to the leave, and holiday(s), if any, preceding the day he is so certified shall be treated as part of the leave.
