Copy of Punjab Government circular letter No. 9091-GII-59/19233, dated the 27th October, 1959,
from Shri E.N. Mangat Rai, I.C.S. Chief Secretary to Government Punjab, addressed to
all Heads of Departments etc., etc.
Subject :— Grant of casual leave to Government employees.
In continuation of Punjab Government letter No. 4376-GII-59/2767, dated the 28th May,
1959, on the subject noted above, I am directed to say that the question of the number of spells of
casual leave which should be allowed to a Government servant during a calendar year and their
duration has been under consideration of Government. It has been decided that there should be no
restriction in regard to the duration and number of spells. Henceforth, it would be within the competence
of the sanctioning authorities to sanction any amount of casual leave without any limit if spells, within
the amount of casual leave admissible subject to the condition that one spell at a time will not exceed
16 days as already provided in sub-para (5) of para 13 of Punjab Government letter referred to above.

Copy of Punjab Government Circular letter No. 10343-G1I-59/21l 50, dated the
16th December, 1959 from the Chief Secretary to Government Punjab,
addressed to all Heads of Departments etc., etc.
Subject: — Casual leave.
With the introduction of the revised system of Earned Leave, Holidays and Working hours
with effect from the 1st July, 1959, some doubts have arisen and certain departments have sought
clarifications as to how the amount of casual leave admissible to an employee, who has less than two
years service is to be calculated in the presence of the instructions contained in paragraph 20 of the
Secretariat Instructions. The whole matter has been considered at length and it has been decided not
to impose any further restrictions in this behalf because the amount of casual leave has already been
reduced considerably. In future no discrimination will thus be made in the case of those who have less
than two years service and all employees having less than 10 years service will be entitled to 10 days
casual leave in a year as laid down in the policy No. 4376-GII-59/2767, dated the 28th May, 1959.
2. Paragraph 20 of the Secretariat Instructions is being amended suitably so as to bring it in
line with the instructions issued with the above-mention letter.
