Rule 8.10
8.10. Address while on leave to be given. - Every police officer, before proceeding on
leave, shall record in the office of the authority granting him leave the address at which
orders of recall or other communications will reach him with certainty and despatch.
Rule 8.11
8.11. Recall from leave to give evidence. - Time spent by police officers on leave in
giving evidence in courts and in travelling to the court and back from courts as part of the
leave, and travelling allowance is admissible under the same conditions as if the police officer
had been on duty when summoned (vide Rule 10.148). To avoid the inconvinience
to all concerned and the expense to Government involved in recalling officers, whose
homes are at a distance, officers sanctioning leave should, as far as possible, fix dates for
its commencement which will avoid the necessity of such recall.
Rule 8.12
8.12. Deposit of Government property before proceeding on leave. - Every police
officer before proceeding on leave shall deposit all Government property in his possession
or custody with the officer responsible under these rules for the custody of such

be attached to character rolls and maintained in Form A.T. 290 in accordance with the instructions
given in that form and with Fundamental Rules 77 to 80. It is most important
that the accounts should be kept up with the greatest care and accuracy. They are the basis
for the decision of all claims for leave and are essential to the preparation of pension
claims, the settlement of which may be seriously delayed by inaccuracies in regard to
leave accounts, Gazetted Officers must check these accounts frequently, both in the process
of dealing with leave applications and otherwise.
Rule 8.14
8.14. Leave registers. - The orderly head constable shall maintain an English register
of applications for leave in Form 8.14(a) and a leave register in Form 8.14(b). In the latter

leave register shall be made over to the head clerk once a week, who shall make necessary
entries in the leave accounts of officers who have returned from leave, and fill in column
