I am selected Group-D candidate at Government Medical College,in 2024.but appoitment order has not been issued. Contract employees working as sweepers for about 8 years have obtained a High Court order directing payment of minimum wages and arrears with 6% interest. Their dues are reportedly around Rs.70 lakh. The Court also stated that payment of their dues is a condition precedent for appointment of new recruits. Review was dismissed and a contempt petition is pending. I am not a party. Wh

As you are a selected Group-D candidate but not a party to the earlier case, you can approach the High Court by filing an intervention/impleadment application or an appropriate writ petition seeking issuance of your appointment order. You can argue that your appointment cannot be kept pending indefinitely due to the dues of existing contractual employees; however, the exact remedy will depend on the wording of the original judgment, review order and pending contempt proceedings.
