Yes, if you have sandwich leave policy then here Sunday will also be included in that employee case and it would be total 3 day leave.

Decision in such cases mainly depends on the leave policy of the company. There is no clause in Labour Law of India related with sandwich leave policy.
HR plays a vital role here as rules in favour of employees give them a motivational attachment towards the company.

It is advised to treat with caution the policies during emergency with an employee. Any flexibility shown by the organization during hard times goes a long way.

You are absolutely right Nishesh, it is at the discretion of HR in concurrence with the management. In our organization we consider only working days as leave. Taking bridged leave is some sort of benefit for employees.

Yes. It is good to keep employees happy from heart by doing small things.
We, in reliable Group, also follow the same pattern. We do not count sunday also if the employee is on the leave on Saturday and Monday.
