Dear members
This is a little urgent. Is there any NGO or agency/group that can help us to represent and sue a central government institute (under the ministry of environment and forest) for first selecting an ineligible candidate and then failing to remedy the error within the timeline as stipulated by DoPT. We intend to bring this case in CAT or high court, Jabalpur.
Summary of the case: A government institute has appointed an employee at a faculty position who does not meet the basic minimum qualification. This is not an allegation but documented fact. The said institute is obligated to adhere strictly to MoHRD norms but has failed to do so. This is a case of the institute and the members involved in the recruitment process acting against the rule of law.
All supporting documents are available.
What we intend to do:
A: Sue the director of the institute for:
1. Facilitating the selection of ineligible selection. Please note that we have received screening and interview results under RTI and the discrimination by the director and other members is clearly established.
2. Failing to timely act upon the complaint, reverse the appointment, and attempt to cover up the case to hide his misconduct and possible abuse of power (as evident based on the discriminatory marking he gave to candidates).
3. By selecting an ineligible candidate and later failing to resolve the case, he caused a career loss to the deserving candidate and significant mental stress.
4. Investigation of Director and his team (administration department) for their role in selecting ineligible candidate, the discrimination he caused based on the available records of the markings, and his ignoring to hear the plea of the aggrieved.
B: Sue the BOG for:
1. Negligence to properly vet the selection (BOG is expected to vet all the appointments)
2. failure to timely address the complaint and thereby refusal to the aggrieved for justice.
3. By vetting the selection of an ineligible candidate and later failing to facilitate timely resolution of the grievance, BOG's actions led to a career loss to the deserving candidate, and significant mental stress.
What we seek:
1. Reversal of the appointment and offering the position to the first waitlisted candidate
2. Recusal of the Director from the further recruitment process unless investigation of his role in the selecting of the ineligible candidate is completed.
I would be happy to connect over the phone if that helps.
Thank you.
