नियत तारीख से पूर्व अवकाश से लौटनाः नियम 85 (ख) के  नीचे दिये गये स्पष्टीकरण के अनुसार सक्षम प्राधिकारी एक राजपत्रित अधिकारी को, स्वीकृत अवकाश की समाप्ति पर, पूर्व के पद पर ही पुनः पदस्थापन के आदेश अवकाश की स्वीकृति में ही अंकित कर सकता है,यदि वह पद अवकाश काल में रिक्त रखा गया हो।

जहाँ अधिकारी को अवकाश एक प्राधिकारी स्वीकृत करे तथा उसके अवकाश काल में रिक्त हुए पद को भरने की व्यवस्था अन्य अधिकारी के आदेशों से हो तो बाद वाले प्राधिकारी द्वारा अवकाश से लौटने पर ही अधिकारी को पुनः पदस्थापन के आदेश जारी किये जावेंगे। ऐसे आदेश कर्मचारी की अवकाश अवधि में भी जारी किये जा सकते हैं अथवा दूसरे सक्षम प्राधिकारी की स्वीकृति से अवकाश स्वीकृति आदेशों में भी अंकित किये जा सकते हैं।

अवकाश स्वीकृतिकर्ता प्राधिकारी किसी कर्मचारी को राजस्थान सेवा नियमों के नियम 85 के अनुसार अवकाश समाप्त होने से पूर्व ही सेवा पर वापिस लौटने की आज्ञा दे सकता है। राजस्थान सरकार का यह निर्णय है कि किसी अवकाश के निरस्त किये जाने के आदेश जारी करने में किसी प्रकार का विलम्ब नहीं किया जाना चाहिये। स्वीकृति प्रदान करने वाले प्राधिकारी को अवकाश रद्द करने के सभी मामलों में इस तथ्य को ध्यान में रखना चाहिये।

Rajasthan Service Rule 85(b) -- A Government servant returning from leave is not entitled, in the absence of specific orders to that effect, to resume as a matter of course the post which he held before going on leave. He must report his return to duty and await orders.

Clarification. - Attention is invited to cause (b) of Rule 85 which provides that a Government servant on return from leave is not entitled to presume as a matter of course, the post which he held before going on leave in the absence of formal orders of posting. In this connection doubts have been raised whether authorities competent to grant leave can issue posting orders of Gazetted officers on return from leave. The matter is clarified as follows.-

(1) An authority who is competent to grant leave can issue orders of reposting of a Gazetted officer to the same post if during the currency of leave the post was kept unfilled.

(2) Where leave has been sanctioned by one authority and the leave vacancy has been filled under orders of another authority the latter authority can only issue re-posting orders of officers returning from leave. As Accountant General will not issue pay authority in the absence of such an order re-posting an officer who has returned from leave, such orders should invariably be issued before expiry of leave.{Inserted vide F.D.

Government of Rajasthan's Decision. -  Cases have come to the notice of Government when the sanctioning authorities while permitting a Government servant under Rule 85 of R.S.R. to return from leave before its expiry, do not issue orders and endorse a copy there of to Accountant General with the result that hardship is caused to the officers in getting duty pay for the period of leave not availed of. It is imperative that no delay occurs in the issue of the orders for cancellation of leave. The sanctioning authorities are requested to keep this in mind in all cases when sanctioned leave is cancelled.{Inserted by F.D. Memo. No.49/22/56/F.7(4)F II/55, dated 26-10-1956.}
