regarding service matter

3 years ago

It is stated that we ( 6 employees) have been working in NIIFT (Employer) on contract basis since 2008 and 2010 respectively. We were engaged on contract basis by NIIFT after adopting proper procedure of recruitment. It is relevant to mentioned here that since inception of NIIFT in year 1995 the employees, who were appointed on contract basis were being regularized at the level of DG NIIFT just after completion of 1-3 years of their contractual services and the approval was being taken in the Governing Council Meeting.

Further we want to inform you that NIIFT has also regularized one contractual employee i.e.Ms. Amarjit Kaur,Admin.Asstt. just after completion of one year of her contractual service, who has been recruited/joined with us in year 2010 on the same terms and conditions of the contract as well as she was junior to us.

In this regard we had made several requested and approached to senior authorities to regularize our services on the pattern of Ms. Amarjit Kaur,Admin.Asstt, but there is no remedial solution was found. We were become helpless, Eventually we had filed a petition in Hon'ble Court, Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh vide case no. CWP-22680-2016 in year 2016 to regularized our service on the pattern of Ms. Amarjit Kaur .
NIIFT (Employer) has already made written statement in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh in year 2017 that ". The cases of regularization of the petitioner employees are being considered and are in the process".
The court case has been decided on 02.05.2019 by the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh with directions to consider the case of the petitioners for regularization, in case they have completed 3 years. Let the needful be done within a period of 3 months.
But the employer has not implement the decision hence we again approach for contempt vide COCP 4086/2019 and against contempt, NIIFT (Employer) has issued speaking orders in which mentioned that "The employees who have completed ten or more years of service. However, this benefit of Umadevi case would be available to appointment made prior to 2006 i.e before the date of judgement in Uma devi’s case."The speaking orders were issued after getting advise from Advocate General Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh.
Due to which we have been treated very unfairly and hopping a justice but all in vain because of very poor Indian Administration/Culture.
Keeping in view of above please advise us right direction
