O R D E R (ORAL)

The learned Counsel for applicant submits that the Child Care Leave which is the entitlement of the applicant only till the child attains the age of 18 years has been denied by the respondents. The applicant claims that her only child namely a son has already attained the age of 16 years and is studying PUC. The respondents has rejected the leave application on the ground of heavy pendency of office work. This ground looks unjustifiable given that every Government Office always has high pendency and given that the respondents have not indicated when they would accommodate the leave prayer. Hence it is
- 2 -

directed that the respondents shall consider the application as per the provisions of the rules and entitlement mentioned in office memorandum dated 7.9.2010 and pass a speaking order within 3 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In case the leave has to be rejected the respondent department shall indicate the months in which they will grant the leave.

OA is thus disposed of with above directions.
