in inserting 3 years for rural stations and two years for unpopular station – this is in violation of natural justice when circles where two years tenure are for all India service cadre how local employees be asked to go for three years more than the circle tenure for one cadre availing all facilities not available to local staff and two years for unpopular stations like j and k circle and north east – circles.
