Hellow everybody.
Our collegues are contesting a case relating to seniority in supreme court. Their opposite parties (petitoners of SLP) are ad-hoc employees while they are regular employees selected through SSC. The case is at admission stage and is pending in registrar office for the last six months for want of service of notice. By the attitude of the OPs it appears that they are trying to delay the matter as long as they can because of the fact that they are apprehensive of losing the case in SC which will render them terminated from the service. Now, I want to ask is there any statutory time limit to dispose of this case or how long the matter may be kept pending in registrar office by the OPs. Please give your opinion urgently as the promotion of various other employees are held up because of stay granted by the SC in an interim order on first hearing. Please also suggest as to what can be done to expedite this case. Thanks.

You can ask your counsel to request the court to direct the registry to serve the notices early. If in the registry there is any problem of service of notice, your counsel can seek permission for private notice and serve notice on the opposite parties at the earliest. Also your counsel can plead the court to fix a early date for final disposal highlighting the court the plight of the employees seniority which is at stake.
