Government of NCT of Delhi and Ors. v. Ms Julie
Case brief
What is this about?
Writ petition challenging CAT's direction that an employee engaged via an outsourcing agency be considered for appointment in preference to freshers, juniors, outsiders with one-time age relaxation. The High Court declined interference, clarifying no onus to re-engage or employ her permanently; only a preference obligation if she applies through the outsourcing agency.
What did the court decide?
No relief to petitioner; impugned Tribunal order left intact with clarification limiting employer's obligation to preference in future contractual appointments.
