2 years ago
My father was government Teacher at Holy child High school, Ahmedabad. School Trustee and principal was running Dummy Teachers in school, School sieged by the District Education officer in April 2004. 40 out of 47 teacher were fraud and dummy. 7 original teachers were order to work in CP patel school to issue Leaving certificate to all students. They worked 6 months from april to october at CP patel without salary when most of students got their LC, DEO found mistakes in appointment letter of 7 teachers (My father is one of them). We filled case in tribunal court but lost, our Lawyer was absent in final hearing. since then my father had no job from 2004 to 2008, then my father started working in private school. Can I reopen the case or fill new fresh case in high court. My fathers PF is also pending and now father is retired and 69 years old.
You are suggested to hire a good high court lawyer in Ahmehdabad and have thorough discussion with him/her with all you papers.

You can approach the High Court and prefer an appeal from the order of the tribunal, but your appeal would be barred by limitation period. If you are able to explain the extraordinary delay in approaching the High Court, then High Court may condone your delay, but that would very difficult.

Your case would be dismissed by the operation of limitation period by the High Court. You should have filed the appeal as soon as you received the decision of the tribunal. Still, you can file an appeal before the High Court, explaining the circumstances and reasoning behind the extra-ordinary delay in filing the appeal. If you can make out your case, the High Court may condone the delay, but that is highly improbable in your situation.
