Sir,

Recently I have blessed with a child, as the birth of child happened before the expected date so I am unable to apply for paternity leave priorly.but immediate day I have informed our immediate officer(AXEN), he said enjoy paternity leave days 100% but during my leave period controlling officer (Dy.CE)called and warned me about that I didn't inform him regarding paternity leave and he is instructing offiicials to don't forward my paternity leave application to him for sanction.kindly suggest the necessary step to take.
