_ passes in accordance with Rule 3(vii)(c) stipulated under General Rules in Schedule-II (Pass on Privilege Account) of Railway Servants (Pass) Rules, 1986 (Second Edition- 1993) taking the plea that the same is not covered under Rule 3(vii)(b). In this respect, it is clarified that the Rule 3(vii)(c) categorically provides for issue of passes ‘if the © longer route to destination is quicker than the direct route irrespective of distance involved.’ The said rule is an independent provision which is explicit.by the use of the word “or” between the aforesaid sub-paras 3(vii)(a), 3(vii)(b) & 3(viii)(c).

Accordingly, it is clarified that passes over quicker longer route are admissible without any distance restriction, that is irrespective of distance involved.

2. The Railways are, therefore, advised to follow the extant statutory rules

scrupulously and issue passes accordingly.
