An undertaking to this effect, should, therefore, be taken from the employee, who avails himself of commuted leave but the question whether the employee should be called upon to refund the money drawn in excess as leave salary should be decided on the merits of each case, i.e., if the retirement is voluntary, refund should be enforced, but if her retirement is compulsorily entrusted upon him by reason of ill-health incapacitating him for further service, no refund should be taken.",
