(2) The selected candidates shall have to accept the post of Junior, Assistant with 'zero' seniority in the JA carde. Existing pay of the incumbents would, however, be protected. (3) Interested JIs are, therefore, requested to indicate their option latest by 31-1-83 mentioning reasons for such option. It is however clearly stipulated herein that 'option' once exercised would be treated as 'final' and withdrawal of the 'option' at a later stage would be treated as a 'misconduct' as per JCI CDA Rules, 1980 and will be dealt with as per rules. (4) The management, however, reserve the right to consider each application on its merit only for selection to the post of Junior Assistant against available vacancies as may be determined by the competent authority without conferring any right to the applicants to claim automatic selection as above.
