15.5 Seniority of Absorbees (Transferees)

15.5.1 The relative seniority of persons appointed by absorption to any post in the University from any other Department of the Central/ State Government, Autonomous organisation and statutory body, shall be determined in accordance with the order of their selection for such absorption.

15.5.2 Where such absorbees are effected against specific quotas prescribed in the Recruitment Rules, the relative seniority of such absorbees vis- -vis direct recruits or promotees shall be determined according to the rotation of vacancies which shall be based on the quotas reserved for absorption.

15.5.3 Where a person is appointed by absorption in accordance with the provisions in the Recruitment Rules providing for such absorption in the event of non-availability of suitable candidate by direct recruitment or promotion, such absorbee shall be grouped with direct recruits or promotees, as the case may be, selected on the same occasion.

15.5.4 In the case of a person who is initially taken on deputation and absorbed later (i.e. where the relevant Recruitment Rules provide for "Deputation/ absorption"), his seniority in the grade in which he is absorbed will normally be counted from the date of absorption. If he has, however, been holding already (on the date of absorption) the same or equivalent post on regular basis in his parent department, such regular service shall also be taken into account in fixing his seniority subject to the condition that he will be given seniority from -

- the date he has been holding the post on deputation;

(or)

- the date from which he has been appointed on a regular basis to the same or equivalent post in his parent department;

whichever is later.

15.5.5 The fixation of seniority of an absorbee in accordance with the above principle will not, however, affect any regular promotions to the next higher grade made prior to the date of such absorption. In other words, it will be operative only in filling up of vacancies in higher grade taking place after such absorption.

15.5.6 In cases in which absorption is not strictly in public interest, the transferred officers will be placed below all officers appointed regularly to the grade on the date of absorption.

15.6 Seniority in Special type of cases

15.6.1 In case where in the order imposing the penalty of reduction to a lower service, grade or post or to a lower time scale it is specified that the reduction is for a specified period and is not to operate to postpone future increments, the seniority of the Employee may, unless the terms of the order of punishment, provide otherwise, be fixed in the higher service, grade or post or the higher timescale at what he would have been but for his reduction.

15.6.2 Where the reduction is for a specified period and is to operate to postpone future increments, the seniority of the Employee on re-promotion may, unless the terms of the order of punishment provide otherwise, be fixed by giving credit for the period of service rendered by him in the higher service, grade or post or higher time-scale.

15.6.3 Persons under suspension or against whom disciplinary proceedings are pending:- Original seniority will not be affected, if completely exonerated and the suspension is held to be wholly unjustified. Promotion will be given against the first available vacancy. He will be deemed to have been promoted from the date his junior was promoted during the period of pendency of proceedings, for the purpose of counting service in the higher post for eligibility for promotion to the next higher post.
