Negi added, “The court directed action as per the February 6, 2003, government order, which explicitly mentions ‘recovery from dignitaries’ for wrongful appointments and other provisions”.Petitioner Abhinav Thapar presented key points before the High Court, alleging that the government’s February 6, 2003, order violated constitutional provisions and assembly rules. Specifically, the order imposed an unlawful ban on ad hoc appointments, failed to recover misused government funds, and contravened Articles 14, 16, and 187 of the Constitution, which guarantee equal job opportunities and rule-based recruitment for all citizens.Abhinav Thapar, the petitioner, told TNIE, “We have submitted a report with all facts to the High Court for further action, as per the court’s orders. We are fighting for the rights of over 12 lakh unemployed youth in the state.”Thapar added, “On February 28, 2024, the court acknowledged our facts, stating that all backdoor appointments in the Assembly from 2000 to 2022 were corruption-ridden. We demand that corrupt officers, Assembly speakers, and CMs who gave jobs through wrongful means be held accountable, and government funds be recovered from them.”
