https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182531 Rule 3.12 of the Punjab Civil Services Rules gives a government servant a lien on a permanent post, but that lien is subject to the exception in Rule 3.14(a)(2) requiring the competent authority to suspend it when the servant is substantively appointed outside the cadre. The omission to suspend the lien does not prejudice the employee because the duty is mandatory, and Rule 3.15(b) bars termination of the suspended lien while the servant remains in service unless he makes a written request. On that basis, the lien on the Agricultural Inspector post was not lawfully terminated, revived on deconfirmation from the outside post, and the promotion was valid. en-us Mon, 17 Nov 1975 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 12 May 2016 17:10:14 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182531 Rule 3.12 of the Punjab Civil Services Rules gives a government servant a lien on a permanent post, but that lien is subject to the exception in Rule 3.14(a)(2) requiring the competent authority to suspend it when the servant is substantively appointed outside the cadre.
