In such a scenario, we can first issue a representation to the PSU for not acting in accordance with the prescribed rules, however, if they fail to address your grievance, we can file a Writ Petition before the Hon’ble High Court

- [ ] 1. File a Representation/Appeal to the PSU’s Grievance Cell: Contact the PSU’s grievance redressal mechanism to escalate the issue formally. Provide all supporting documents and highlight the prolonged delay in processing their application. 2. Right to Information (RTI) Request: Submit an RTI application to request detailed information about their application status, the reason for the delay, and why other candidates were issued offer letters ahead of them. This will also help gather documentation if the case needs to be escalated. 3. Send a Legal Notice: If there is no response or an unsatisfactory response, they may consider sending a legal notice to the PSU. This would formally demand an explanation or action within a stipulated period, signaling their intention to take legal action if the issue isn’t resolved. 4. File a Writ Petition in High Court: If the PSU continues to delay or provide inadequate justification, they may consider filing a writ petition (such as a mandamus) in the High Court. This legal route is often used to compel a government body or PSU to fulfill its legal obligations. 5. Consult a Legal Professional Each of these steps would depend on the individual’s specific case details and the advice of a qualified legal professional.

If it is a PSU, then best remedy available for you is to immediately file a writ petition to your concerned High court of your jurisdiction. It would be quick and under writ of mandamus you would get your appointment as well.

Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) adhere to a fixed recruitment policy, which is designed in accordance with Article 14 of the Indian Constitution, ensuring the right to equality. If you wish to obtain specific details regarding your recruitment, you have the legal right to file a Right to Information (RTI) application. Under the RTI Act, the PSU is obligated to provide you with the relevant information within the prescribed time frame. Alternatively, for a quicker resolution, you may directly email the Human Resources (HR) department of the PSU to inquire about the status of your recruitment application, including any reasons for rejection, if applicable. This approach will enable you to seek clarification and a timely response.
