Official sources, quoted by the news agency ANB, said that it has been observed the Administrative Secretaries either sanction study leave in violation of Leave Rules at their own level, or recommend cases to the General Administration Department without adhering to the relevant parameters.

“Further, it has been observed that the provision related to maintenance of leave reserve quota is also being violated from time to time. The matter has been viewed seriously,” sources said.

The government had impressed upon all the Head of Departments, PSUs/Corporations to strictly adhere to the rules and any violation shall be dealt with strictly under the norms by listing the conditions to grant study leave.

The conditions include certifying exigencies of public service, direct and close connection with the sphere of his/her duty; the study tour has to be of definite advantage to the government from the point of view of public interest; the grant of study leave doesn’t affect regular work of cause cadre difficulties owing to his/her absence on leave; that there is a dearth of such technical qualified officials in the department; that the study leaves shall not ordinarily be granted to a government servant who has rendered less than five years service under the government.
