(2) If the sick leave under sub-section (1) is not taken, it shall be accumulated.

p>(3) For the accumulated sick leave according to sub-section (2), the judge shall be entitled to receive a lump sum amount calculated from the monthly salary he has received during his retirement from service. If he submits a certificate from an approved doctor for the disease, even if he does not have sick leave left, he can get paid sick leave for up to two months and after taking additional sick leave with such wages, he can get sick leave without pay for an additional four months at a time and not to exceed twelve months in total during the service period.

However, when taking additional sick leave with salary in this way, every two days of additional sick leave will be deducted from home leave at the rate of one day.

(5) The judge requesting sick leave for a period of more than seven days shall submit a certificate from an approved physician.

But if the Chief Justice in the case of the Chief Justice of the High Court and the Chief Justice of the High Court in the case of other judges believe that it is generally not possible to submit such a certificate, he may approve the sick leave without the need to submit the certificate.
