I will first make reference to the<\/p>\n<p>facts pleaded in W.P.(C).36424\/2005.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">\n<p id=\"p_2\">2.    Petitioner was appointed as Overseer Grade-III in the Irrigation<\/p>\n<p>Department under the        Compassionate Employment Scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently he was promoted as Assistant Engineer (Mechanical)<\/p>\n<p>in the Irrigation Department by Ext.P1 order dated         1.3.1995.<\/p>\n<p>Respondents 3 to 8 being diploma holders also joined service as<\/p>\n<p>Overseer Grade-III and were promoted as Assistant Engineer<\/p>\n<p>(Mechanical) with effect from 15.3.1995.       Challenge in this writ<\/p>\n<p>petition is against Ext.P12 order dated 14.3.2005 by which the<\/p>\n<p>seniority of respondents 3 to 8 was re-assigned in the cadre of<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Engineer with effect from 1.8.1993.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">3.    Petitioner submits that in Exs.P4, P5 and P7 provisional<\/p>\n<p>seniority lists of Assistant Engineers, petitioner was consistently<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).36424\/05 &amp; 4508\/06<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                                   2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>shown as senior to respondents 3 to 8.      These seniority lists were<\/p>\n<p>finalized by Ext.P9 seniority list for the period from 1.4.1990 to<\/p>\n<p>31.10.1998.      In   that seniority list also, petitioner in W.P.(C).<\/p>\n<p>36424\/2005 is assigned as Sl.No.37 and the petitioners in W.P.(C).<\/p>\n<p>4508\/2006 is assigned as Sl.No.38 and 39 respectively where as<\/p>\n<p>the party respondents in these writ petitions were shown as still<\/p>\n<p>juniors.   It is stated that Ext.P9 seniority list was published on<\/p>\n<p>22.11.2001.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">\n<p id=\"p_5\">4.    Long    thereafter   representations   were   made    by   party<\/p>\n<p>respondents in July and August, 2004, objecting to the seniority<\/p>\n<p>settled in favour of the petitioners herein. It would appear that<\/p>\n<p>respondents 3 to 8 also approached this Court complaining of delay<\/p>\n<p>in considering their representations by filing W.P.(C).37212\/2004.<\/p>\n<p>That writ petition was disposed of directing consideration of their<\/p>\n<p>representations.     It was accordingly   that  Ext.P12 order dated<\/p>\n<p>14.3.2005        was passed by the Chief Engineer, assigning<\/p>\n<p>retrospective promotion to the party respondents in the cadre of<\/p>\n<p>the Assistant Engineer with effect from 1.8.1993 as a result thereof,<\/p>\n<p>respondents 3 to 8 have        gained seniority over the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>contrary to the seniority settled as per Ext.P9.       It is in these<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).36424\/05 &amp; 4508\/06<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                                   3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>circumstances, order dated 14.3.2005 was passed which has been<\/p>\n<p>produced as Ext.P4 in W.P.(C).4508\/2006.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">\n<p id=\"p_7\">5.    Petitioners contend that Ext.P9 seniority list having    been<\/p>\n<p>finalized and published on 22.11.2001, seniority position should<\/p>\n<p>not have been reopened, at any rate after a period of almost four<\/p>\n<p>years. It is also contended that their settled seniority has been<\/p>\n<p>reopened without putting the petitioners on notice.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">6.    However, in the counter affidavit filed by the 2nd respondent<\/p>\n<p>what they contend is that the total sanctioned strength of Assistant<\/p>\n<p>Engineers (Mechanical) is 49 and that the strength         allocated<\/p>\n<p>between Graduates, Diploma and Certificate holders is in the ratio<\/p>\n<p>of 29:15:5 (6:3:1). It is stated that while publishing the seniority<\/p>\n<p>list, there should have been 15 Diploma holders as Assistant<\/p>\n<p>Engineer (Mechanical) and that instead, there were only 6 and<\/p>\n<p>remaining 9 were kept vacant with effect from 1.4.1990 and that it<\/p>\n<p>is on that basis, retrospective promotion has been assigned.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">7.    However finalised seniority list was published by Exts.P8 and<\/p>\n<p>P9 as early as on 22.11.2001. Respondents 3 to 8 did not pursue<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).36424\/05 &amp; 4508\/06<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">                                  4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>their remedies against the seniority list by approaching this Court or<\/p>\n<p>any statutory forums. Therefore, that seniority has become final. In<\/p>\n<p>such a case, when seniority has been settled, it could not have been<\/p>\n<p>reopened to the prejudice of the petitioners and that too without<\/p>\n<p>notice to them. Admittedly, Ext.P12 has been issued by the Chief<\/p>\n<p>Engineer giving retrospectivity to the promotions to respondents 3<\/p>\n<p>to 8 without notice to the petitioners. In effect by Ext.P12, the<\/p>\n<p>entire seniority settled in favour of the petitioners have been<\/p>\n<p>unsettled which ought not have been done by the Chief Engineer.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">8.    Therefore, I am satisfied that Ext.P12 in W.P.(C).36424\/2005,<\/p>\n<p>which is also produced as Ext.P4 in W.P.(C).4508\/2006 is illegal<\/p>\n<p>and deserves to be set aside and I do so.         Necessarily, orders<\/p>\n<p>reassigning the seniority to the petitioners shall be passed. This<\/p>\n<p>shall be done as expeditiously as possible at any rate within two<\/p>\n<p>months of production of a copy of this judgment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">      Writ petitions are disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">\n<p id=\"p_13\">                                  ANTONY DOMINIC,<br \/>\n                                         Judge<\/p>\n<p>mrcs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court C.Anil Chandran vs State Of Kerala on 14 June, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 36424 of 2005(J) 1.
