As informed hearing in JTO seniority case for SDE promotions was scheduled today and case was listed at Sr No. 5 and it came up for hearing at 1100 hrs.
From the SNEA side Shri Pawan Meena, JSW CHQ and Shri Pankaj Chopra, CS HP were present in the Court during hearing.
From respondent BSNL the case was represented by a regular Advocate as nominated Senior Advocate could not attend the hearing. Though there was a strong chance that arguments could have taken place today.
But, today nothing could happen as the advocate for respondent, BSNL, has requested for next date quoting the inability of the Senior Advocate to present the case.
Hon. Court directed to have timely hearing as there are chances that the double Beach at CAT Chandigarh may discontinue and the Court wants to complete the hearing in this case before that.
By special mention that the case is being delayed since long, Hon’ble Court expressed displeasure on such negligent approach with remark that Court cannot wait for advocate to represent the case and instructed all the counsels to be present in next hearing without fail and given date within 15 days. As such chances for completing arguments in this case in next or next to next hearing are more. Now the next of hearing is scheduled on 15/07/2026. Hope for the best.
