TO JUDGE S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 18653 of 2006 ================== Dated this the 14th day of December, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is seeking seniority in the cadre of Assistant in the Kerala Agricultural University as against respondents 3 to 5. The reliefs prayed for are as follows: “i) to issue a Writ of Certiorari or any other appearance writ, order or direction to quash Exhibit P7 to the extent it gives seniority to respondents 3, 4 and 5 over the petitioner. ii) to issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing respondents 1 and 2 to give correct placement to the petitioner in the final seniority list in view of rule 13A of KS&SSR by demoting respondents 3, 4 and 5: iii) to issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the 1st respondent University to grant all consequential benefits accrued to the petitioner on the basis of the reversion of respondents 3, 4 and 5.” Ext.P7 is a representation filed by the petitioner to the Registrar. As far as prayer No.2 is concerned, it does not say which is the seniority list or in what post, the petitioner seeks restoration of seniority. In the above circumstances, the reliefs are vague, which cannot be granted. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed on that ground.
