I was selected for a job in 2005, but received my appointment letter only in 2014. The delay was unexplained, despite the vacancy advertisement specifically mentioning a special recruitment drive for backlog vacancies of Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes in 2005. Another candidate joined the same service in 2006. Can I claim seniority from the year my selection process was completed (2005) considering these circumstances? I’d appreciate any guidance on this matter.

Under Indian law, seniority is usually determined by the date of joining the service. Your selection in 2005 does not guarantee seniority. However, the delay in issuing your appointment letter and the special recruitment drive for backlog vacancies might be relevant factors to consider for seeking redressal through legal means.

As a contract-based e-governance project manager, I’ve been assigned responsibilities in several districts across Uttar Pradesh. While I’m based in a sub-office within the Collectorate, a fourth-class employee from the Panchayati Raj department was assigned to assist me. I recently signed a letter to verify the employee’s attendance, using the DM office’s letterhead and my designation. However, this letter was leaked to the local media, causing a stir as it was perceived as me overseeing the employee’s work, a responsibility supposedly belonging to their department head. I consulted with senior staff who confirmed that signing such a letter is acceptable as the employee was assigned to me and I’m part of the DM’s office. Is this practice legally sound in this situation?

I had an accident on June 16th, 2015, and recovered on August 31st, 2015. I lost two finger bones on my right index finger (B2 injury). My monthly salary was Rs. 40,000. The relevant factor for my injury is 205.95, leading to an 11% loss of earning capacity. I have a few questions: 1. Will I be eligible for full salary during my injured period? 2. How much compensation should the company pay me? I calculated the compensation to be Rs. 1,75,000 (based on 8000 x 205.95 x 11%). 3. What is the total compensation amount including my salary?

An engineer working at a university has been suspended for allegedly having a fake degree and an illegal appointment. While he presented a seemingly genuine degree, the university demanded his engineering college admission fee receipt, which he couldn’t provide. They also requested a copy of the advertisement for the position, which he claimed he didn’t have but presented his appointment letter issued after a selection interview. The university remained unsatisfied and the Vice Chancellor suspended him. What legal options does the engineer have and what are his chances of success?
