another human being, as a special welfare measure in public interest”

Leave will be a maximum of 42 days as per the recommendation of Government registered
medical practitioner / Doctor.

approved for donation by the Government registered medical practitioner as per the
Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1994,

(iii) The Special Casual Leave shall not be combined with any other leave except in
exceptional circumstances of complications of surgery on medical recommendation by the
Government registered medical practitioner/Doctor.

(iv) Special Casual Leave shall normally be taken in one stretch starting from the day of
admission in the hospital, however, in case of requirement it can be availed starting maximum
one week prior to surgery on the recommendation of Government registered medical
practitioner/Doctor.
