Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
A District or a Joint Judge need not apply to the High Court for casual leave. But he should submit a report to the High Court as soon as the returns to duty from such leave giving reasons for his taking leave and its duration. A Joint Judge should inform his District Judge of his intended absence on such leave and the reasons therefor so as to enable the District Judge to make suitable arrangements for the disposal of urgent work during his absence. If, however, a District or a Joint Judge has to leave his headquarters during his casual leave, he should immediately give intimation about it to the High Court.
