Contractual employees for more than 5 years
dear sir/mam, i am working in a central govt. department of India since March 2009. It has been more thabn 5 years since my employer keeps on renewing my contract period.
it is to mention that the employment term has been continuous without even a break of one day.
initially the term was for one year, then they renewed it for 2 years. after that it has been renewed for 1 and 1 years respectively.
It is a department ongoing buzz that they are processing for taking the contractual employees on permanent basis.
regarding this buzz in Feb 2013, they also asked us to fill a form including our educational details stating that the form submission is for the absorption of the contractual employees.
We get a DA increment but no basic increment.
For the term of 2013-14 we also filled the government issued Annual Progress Report (APR).
We are around 200 employees working on the same terms.
Since you can see we have lost of patience now we are moving to knock the court's door.
Kindly guide me further if we have strong case against our employer or not

Dear Mr. Ganguly, I am very sure about this that my employer did not ask us to endorse any document stating anything about the contract. They just asked us to sign a non-disclosure agreement at the time of joining and after which no other document was ever asked to sign.
Furthermore, when we put a petition in High Court, would not high court can put a stay over our contract as we are working satisfactorily from last five years that too without any break in service. Thanking you for your advice. Sir. plz reply
