you appear to hav alreayd made a seperate query and been replied.

My mother-in-law is retiring in 3 months and she is 58 currently.

Is there any GR for maximum age of the election officer for a lady..?

Can she be exempted from the election duty..?

My advise will be not to take strings with electoral authroities. Your department has very little say to decide as to what punishment should be givne for refusal of election duty. Refusing election duty is also a criminal offence. Once convicted you may keep on appealing but dismissal from service will follow the conviction. Go ahead if you want to make the advocates richer. 

 

Normally deptts do not forward name of early retirees.  But if they have forwarded and election duty is there then it is a duty for ll practical purpose.

There is absolutely no age for election duty.  I have seen even re-employer pensioner being duputed for such duty.  Only DM can exampt from election duty for vbalid reasons and the procedure involved in that is much labourious then performing the duty.

Fully agreed.

Fundamental rights can be curtailed as per procedure established by law. While on election duty you cannot lave station till duty is over.

	I am GroupA officer. I ve been appointed as Presiding officer in Tripura General Assembly election 2018, whereas my colleages(same rank) are appointed as Sector officer. So is there any law and order to appoint presiding officer

Why cannot you think yourself to be lucky man.  The resposibilitis of Presiding Officer (remunerated) is just 10% of the responsibility of Sector Officer (unremunerated).

The amount of time to be spent by Presiding Officer is 5% of what is to be spent by Sector Officer.

Powers of Presiding Officer are much more than Sector Officer.

Whether as Sector Officer or Presiding Officer, you will be reporting to SDM/Tehsildar who holds a lessor designation than you [ you said you are Gp-A]

Any way the DM office will be happy to see if you are ready to noose your neck as Sector Officer.  Go and meet DM/ADM/SDM in person.

Dear Sir,

 I am a govt employee working under Autonmous body. I got election duty, and before this I whenever I got election duty I did it, this time we are organising a national seminar and since I am organiser and treasurer of that I have to be there in seminar, we can not change the dates also because it was already declared one year back and through out India delegates are coming. What should I do now ?
