The Delhi High Court has asked the government to grant leave to Christian employees of the finance ministry on Good Friday (March 29) and Easter (March 31).
The direction came in the wake of the Department of Revenue asking its staff to work on these holidays to meet the rush of people depositing their tax dues before March 31, the last day of the financial year. The order came on a public interest litigation petition filed by All India Christian Council secretary general John Dayal challenging the notification of the Central Board of Excise and Customs.
