(a) Extraordinary leave may be granted in special circumstances :
(1) when no other leave is by rule admissible, or
(2) when, other leave being admissible, the Government servant concerned applies in writing for the grant of extraordinary leave.
Such leave, is not debited against the leave account. No leave salary is admissible during such leave.
Note : —If an authority competent to sanction leave has reason to believe that an attempt is being made by the Government servant to derive the benefit under Article 408 of the Civil Service Regulations in applying extraordinary leave in continuation of and beyond a period of continuous absence in leave with allowances for 28 months preparatory to retirement, such authority should refuse the extraordinary leave in such cases by exercising the discretion vested in it under Rule 67.
[G.O.Ms. No. 2052, Fin., Dt. 14-4-1960]
Please Note : —See Rule 16 of the Revised Leave Rules, 1933. (b) The authority which has the power to sanction leave may grant extraordinary leave as in clause (a) in combination with, or in continuation of, any leave that is admissible, and may commute retrospectively periods of absence without leave into extraordinary leave.
(c) When extraordinary leave is granted to a Military Commissioned Officer subject to these rules, he will continue to be treated as in civil employ for all purposes, until he is placed on military temporary non-effective pay by the order of a medical board. If, after being placed on military temporary non-effective pay, he returns to duty in India, he will have no claim to reinstatement in civil employ.
