"Circular It is circulated for information to all the surplus employees of the press that the sanctioned strength has been notified by the Directorate of Printing under the Modernization Scheme. Accordingly following posts are to be filled up on absorption in this press as per recruitment rules.
"4.8 On 13.7.2007, applicant and 10 other surplus Mono/Lino operators of Government of India Press, Minto Press, New Delhi requested the Manager of this Press to absorb them within the G.I. Press, Minto Road, New Delhi itself as per the Recruitment Rules. On the date of receipt of letter annexed as Annexure R-4, the Sanctioned Strength of the post of DTP Operator in Government of India Press, Minto road, New Delhi was 108 and against which 1213 DTP Operators were already on roll. So, these Surplus Lino Operators could not be absorbed in the post of DTP Operator. But as per Recruitment Rules, they could be absorbed in the post of Offset Machine Assistant."
