The applicant did not represent regarding the omission in the seniority list circulated. He represented only during the year September 1999 only after the period of more than six years when he was going to be - 2 - retired. After considering his representation, his date of appointment in the department was confirmed as on 14.1.1970 which was inadvertently shown in the seniority list as 13.1.1971.
