I’ve been selected for the ADI post in the MSME department of the West Bengal government by the WB PSC. However, just before my appointment, three unsuccessful candidates filed a case at the SAT challenging the selection panel. The court issued an order stopping the appointment of one candidate without even hearing the successful candidates. While there was no bar to joining the other 25 candidates, the department’s delay has put our appointments on hold. Now, the unsuccessful candidates have submitted a new application (MA) against some of the successful candidates without amending their original petition, and the judge has issued an interim order affecting the entire panel. This leaves us, the 18 newly added parties, in a difficult situation. We have already lost out on an increment due to the delay. Our lawyer is working with us, but we are considering getting a new lawyer. Is there a process for replacing our current lawyer?
Best Answer
You can replace your current lawyer by providing a written notice to your current lawyer and appointing a new lawyer through a formal agreement. However, you must ensure that the new lawyer is aware of the case details and has the necessary expertise. It’s crucial to discuss this with your current lawyer and seek their guidance on how to proceed smoothly.
