The Haryana Government has decided that the period of military service would be counted for the purpose of computing earned leave.
The casual leave will also be admissible on subsequent appointment of an ex-serviceman in any department of the State Government, said an official spokesman.
He said that a decision to this effect has been taken keeping in view the fact that the ex-servicemen join the Government service at a mature age after putting in long service in the Army and their social and family liabilities are rather pressing.
The spokesman added that all the administrative secretaries, heads of
departments, commissioners of all the four divisions, all deputy commissioners and sub divisional officers (civil), registrars of universities
managing directors, chief administrators of boards and corporations in the State have been asked to ensure
the compliance of these instructions.
