I’ve been serving in a government department for 15 years, but recently discovered that I was incorrectly assigned to a state cadre. I should have been placed in my home cadre. If I file a case with the CAT now, is there a risk it’ll be dismissed due to the delay? The mistake was made by the central ministry, who should have followed specific rules and rosters. I wasn’t aware of the error until recently. Would the court understand my situation and consider my delayed action?

The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) may consider your situation as the mistake was made by the central ministry. However, the delay in filing the case could be a factor. The court will likely consider the circumstances surrounding the delay and the extent of your diligence in discovering the error.

Over 300 of us were selected in a central recruitment process in India, but our joining has been on hold since the final list was announced in May 2016. A non-selected candidate filed a case against the recruitment process. The first hearing was in November 2016, but it was adjourned with directions. The case was listed again in January 2017, but was adjourned again. The next listing is in March 2017. I’m worried about our joining and have some questions: 1. What exactly does “adjourned with directions” mean in this context? 2. Is the case still active? 3. Will this case affect our joining? 4. The organization claims it won’t affect us. Is this true? 5. Can we file a counter-case to get our joining process moving?
