Radhakrishnan, J.
In all these cases respondents were appointed as Sub
Engineers through direct recruitment. The only question to be
decided is whether their seniority has to be fixed reckoning the
date of their joining duty or dates of advise by the PSC. It is an
admitted position that parties in these cases were appointed as
Sub Engineers on the advise of the PSC and hence the seniority
has to be reckoned as per Rule 27(c) of the K.S & S.S.R. Learned
Single Judge has rightly held so in the facts and circumstances of
the case. We are not called upon to decide the interse seniority
between the direct recruits and promotees to the post of Sub
Engineers in these cases and hence we express no opinion.
Writ appeals are disposed of as above.
