Yes, he has. He had a permanent job at SAU with retirement benefits etc. He had never resigned from it, but had taken lien to go to JGLS, wherein nobody has got a permanent job as such, only contractual at the discretion of the authorities. After his lien ended, SAU didn't choose to extend it any further. So he had to choose between going back or giving up the permanent post and associated perks altogether. He chose the former.
