Once again download Leave Rules from your establishment and refer to these. Leave Rules are usually very exhaustive and cover all aspects.........................
>> LEAVE RULES:
7. Right to leave
(1) Leave cannot be claimed as of right.
(2) When the exigencies of public service so require, leave of any kind may be refused or revoked
8. Regulation of claim to leave
A Government servant’s claim to leave is regulated by the rules in force at the time the leave is applied for and granted.
19. Grant of leave on medical certificate to Gazetted and Non Gazetted Govt. Servants.
(5) The grant of medical certificate under this rule does not in itself confer upon the Government servant concerned any right to leave; the medical certificate shall be forwarded to the authority competent to grant leave and orders of that authority awaited.
(6) The authority competent to grant leave may, in its discretion, waive the production of a medical certificate in case of an application for leave for a period not exceeding three days at a time. Such leave shall not, however, be treated as leave on medical certificate and shall be debited against leave other than leave on medical grounds.

>> While submitting leave application the Medical Certificate submitted serves the purpose of declaration of sickness contracted by employee and hence rest advised by doctor whereas if Medical Certificate is submitted while joining duty it becomes history of past sickness and may be treated as Fitness Certificate and not as Medical Certificate...........................and a rigid employer may decline to sanction leave......................
>> An employee may feel indisposed due to various reasons and may not require consultation and treatment by doctor hence may not require obtaining and producing medical certificate.
However once again refer to the leave rules of your establishment.
It is felt that:
- if medical certificate is not found proper employer can decline medical leave too.
-if leave rules does not require medical certificate for sick leave of 3 days still employer for certain reasons as perceived by him can ask to provide the opinion/Rx/Medical Certificate from doctor.

Commuted leave cannot be granted without a medical certificate on prescribed form granted by the authorised medical attendant. Advice for "Rest for three days" on prescription slip cannot substitute a medical certificate on a prescribed form. Advice on prescription slip is meant for you not for the leave sanctioning authority.
