Due may be granted to a Government servant in permanent employ or
quasi-permanent employ (other than a military officer) limited to a

(a) The authority competent to grant leave is satisfied that there is
reasonable prospect of the Government servant returning to
duty on its expiry;
(b) Leave Not Due shall be limited to the half pay leave he is
likely to earn thereafter;
