JUDGMENT
Petitioner submits that he commenced service as LDC
on 28.10.1983 and the 3rd respondent on 2.12.1983. It is
stated that in Ext.P1 seniority list of LDC, in Ext.P4
provisional seniority list of UDC and in Ext.P5 provisional
seniority list of Head Clerk, the petitioner was senior to the
3rd respondent. However, in Ext.P6, seniority in the cadre of
UDC was reassigned and the 3rd respondent has been
assigned seniority over the petitioner. According to the
petitioner, this is erroneous and therefore he has filed
Exts.P8 and P9 before the 2nd respondent.
In this writ petition he seeks rectification of the
seniority. If as stated by the petitioner, he has a grievance
against the seniority that is assigned in favour of the 3rd
2
respondent, it is essentially for the 2nd respondent to deal
with it. Now that the petitioner submits that he has
approached the 2nd respondent by filing Exts.P8 and P9,I
direct the second respondent to consider Exts.P8 and P9 if
these representations have been received and are pending.
This shall be done by the 2nd respondent with notice to the
petitioner and the 3rd respondent, as expeditiously as
possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of
production of a copy of the judgment.
Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along
with a copy of the writ petition before the 2nd respondent
for compliance.
Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
