Exemption from Election Duty

Sir,

I am employed with an autonomus organisation and as per the rules of the election commission, those employed with the Central or state govt can be alloted the duty. Can I expect relaxation in this case?

"as per the rules of the election commission, those employed with the Central or state govt can be alloted the duty" WHO TOLD YOU THIS?

Sir I refereed to election commission's manual which reads it on 
https://eci.nic.in/archive/handbook/returning-officer/rch3/rch3_1.htm
Which mentions it, however not explicitly.

One more thing sir, I work as a lecturer in a private college, no scales have been offered, we are as good as temporary-fixed pay employees.

So you know the law and show it to DM.

But sir am I thinking and understanding the document in perspective or not? I m no expert, kindly guide. What should I do?

Sir Please guide me with a legal remedy in this case. I today have received a letter in this regard. And I need to respond.

IF YOU ARE ON ELECTION DUTY THEN EVEN PERMISSION FOR LEAVING STATION (EVEN ON WEEKEND) CANNOT BE GRANTED TO YOU. PERSONS ON ELECTION DUTY ARE REQUIRED BY ELECTORAL AUTHORITIES MUCH BEFOIRE ELECTION AND NOT MERELY ON ELECTION DATES. YOU HAVE NOT DISCLOSED IN WHICH CAPACIOTY YOU ARE ON ELECTION DUTY.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply Sir,
