(4) A railway servant, who having retired on compensation or invalid pension or gratuity is re-employed and allowed to count his past service for pension or State Railway Provident Fund benefits, as the case may b3e, shall be entitled to count his former service towards leave.
Railway Ministry decision
Break in Service due to strike.Strikes may be divided into two categories
(a) Legal strikes, i.e. those which have been called after complying with the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and
(b) Illegal strikes, i.e. those in which the preliminaries to the calling of a legal strike have not been observed
Strikes falling under (a) above do not constitute a break in service and it would be appropriate for the Railway administrations to treat the period of absence as leave with or without allowances as the case may be without reference to the Railway Board.
In case of illegal strikes, however, the absence of the employees concerned is tantamount to a break in service and cannot be condoned without the sanction of the President.
When a break in service due to participation in an illegal strike is condoned by the President as dies non i.e. neither constituting a break in service nor counting as service such a period is deleted as being non-existing in so far as the particular employee or employees are concerned and therefore the status quo ante the interregnum is restored in all respects from the date following the last day of the period treated as dies non. In other words service prior to the break so condoned will be treated as continuous with the services after the break itself for all purposes but the period of break itself will not be taken into account for any purpose.
(Case No. E48 ST/191(L) & E 51.ST/1-44).
