The following text will answer the query.
I too agree with Mr. Dhingra who has given the correct answer to the query.
It is common knowledge that when you plan your leave, you would like your leave to commence from a Monday ( pre-fixing the Weekly Off) and to end it on a Saturday (Suffixing the Weekly Off). I both instances the Weekly Off day will NOT be treated as part of Leave.

Dear Sumit,
CCS (Leave) Rules 1972 are applicable only to the Central Government servants. Even the said rules are not applicable to the some specific central Government departments, like Railways, All India Services, etc. Railways and All India Services have their own set of leave rules. All State Governments also have their different Rules, but are mostly on the lines of the CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972. Even Public Sector companies/ corporations under the Central Government have their own set of Leave Rules. However, many of those prefer to adopt the CCS (Leave) Rules, rather than having their own set of Leave Rules.
So, there is no question of applicability of CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972 to private sector. All the private sector organizations are free to frame their own leave rules, but the fundamentals remain the same. quantity or nature of leave can be different between organization to organization. However, any organization is free to follow the CCS (Leave) Rules. There is no such compulsion or ban to adopt such rules. But all prefer to tow the line of industrial laws or the shops and establishment acts, which prescribe the minimum limits, i.e., not lesser than the prescribed limits, to be allowed to the employees of any establishment.
For the benefit of all the community members Mr. Vasant Nair has provided above this post a very good detail of the provisions of leave, as specified by the law of the land. Thus the minimum prescribed limits and nature and kinds of leave is a must to be observed for the private sector organizations.

I would request the members who do not agree with the opinions of Mr. Dhingra, Mr. Vasant Nair and others having similar, fair and legally compliant opinion; to answer the following question; which I am sure will clarify the issue involved :
- "A" is a regular employee of XYZ Co. He wants to take the full month of January 2010 as EL/PL.
He has sufficient leaves to his credit and so applies well ahead, in the month of November 2009, for a months leave. His leave is granted by the competent authority.
Considering that January 2010 has a national Holiday (26th Jan.), a Festival Holiday (14th Jan. - Makar Sankranti) already declared by the Co. as Festival Leave, and 5 Sunday (Closed Holidays and his weekly off days); how many days of EL/PL, he should apply ? [January 2010 has 31 days and the last day of the month i.e. 31st Jan. is a Sunday]
Warm regards.

NOT SO SIMPLE Mayank, as you presume!
Would you be able to work in your office if that is closed on that day, or would your organization open the office specifically for you and put other people also on duty just for you to enable you join after leave on that day to work for whole day of that closed day and the other people would also wait for you to leave the office?
Better rethink twice before you reply policy matter questions.

Dear Shikha,
You are still confused. You just need to strengthen your decision making power. People with wavering minds cannot prove to be good managers.
Just think about the situation, did your oorganization open the office on Sunday to enable him to join on that non-working day? Did your organization made other arrangements also to put other concerned people on duty on that day to open office, to provide him facilities, or supervise his work for the whole day to allow him work for that non-working day?
Simply reply these questions and you would find your answer, yourself.

[QUOTE=suganthiaribhojan;1031292]Dear Suganthi,
Probably you are misinterpreting the words "IN BETWEEN." The Sunday in this case is not in between but happens after completion of the leave period.
Further, just think about the situation, when your orgasnisation is unable to open the office on Sunday, cannot put other concerned official to open office, to take him on duty, to hand over charge back to him, to supervise his work and to provide facilities for his working, how you can expect him to join your office on that closed day? Why he should be put to disadvantage on account of your own organizations' inabilities to provide him the working environment of a closed Day?
