My spouse is a permanent employee in a central govt. autonomous institute with almost 10 years of service. While applying for a higher post, the director of the institute demanded an undertaking from her to the effect that she will resign from her post without lien if gets selected in the higher post. Since it is equivalent to denial of lien to an employee, which is a right, we would like to question the same. As I have seen in the internet, the director has a power to suspend lien to an employee (fundamental rule 14) if the director has a right to appoint the person. Is that a valid reason to demand such an undertaking? how do one say that lien is a right/title of an employee if that is the case with a permanent employee?
Thanking in advance for any information regarding the same..
