A doctor in an MP government medical college is seeking clarification on the Adarsh Seva Niyam 2018 regarding casual leave (CL). Their Head of Department (HOD) has stated that doctors are only allowed 19 CLs annually, which they are interpreting as one CL per month, thus denying a request for 7 days of CL. The doctor, who has been on COVID duty for 1.5 years without seeing their family, is distressed and seeking guidance on how to proceed, as they believe their HOD's interpretation is incorrect and they are eligible for the requested leave.
