Question :-An assistant teacher took his study leave ( Special Leave) with full pay for 14 days to complete his B.Ed Examination in 1979. Again he has enjoyed 43 days such leave without the permission of the board for his M.A. Examination in 1981 with full pay. After completion of his exama ination, the D.I.of Schools grants him Master Degree Scale also! According to an another circular there was no need to take permission from the Board who appeared before 28/01/1994. So, there is no question to take the permission from the Board. But this teacher has received two (2) times Study Leave in his service life. How it can possible ? Was the first leave not count as it was only for B.Ed Examination where was no need to take permission from the Board? Only the M.A. Examination was counted ? I have also found a circular that a candidate may enjoy two times study leave in di8fference courses in a year. But in this case the study leave 2 times were in separate years. Which is right ? Please answer anybody.
