Regarding becoming petitioner in COCP


17-Apr-2025 (In Civil Law)
There is case regarding pay commission in Punjab. Some of the employees filed CWP in high court and court gives in favour of those employees. But due to some reasons I am not able to become petitioner in this case. Now those employees filed COCP in high court, I also want to become petitioner in this case what will I do because the benefits are provided to those who filed case in high court

Since you were not a petitioner in the original CWP filed before the High Court, you cannot directly become a party to the ongoing COCP (Contempt of Court Petition). However, you have the legal remedy to file a fresh CWP before the High Court seeking the same reliefs, mentioning that similarly placed employees have already been granted benefits by the court and you are entitled to the same treatment on the principle of parity and equality under Article 14 of the Constitution of India. You will need to file your own petition, clearly referring to the earlier judgment and orders passed in favour of the original petitioners. Once your petition is admitted and allowed, the benefits can be extended to you as well. Immediate legal action is advisable to protect your rights without further delay.

Firstly, you need to check the judgement. Is it only for the petitioners or for all employees working in the same cadre? Then further course of action can be decided. It can also be discussed through online consultation.
