WA 349/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.MADAN B.LOKUR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. GOSWAMI (Madan B. Lokur, CJ) The appellant is aggrieved by a judgment and order dated 28.9.2010 passe d by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C) No.342 of 2007. It is not necessary for us to go into the details of the dispute between the parties. Suffice it to say that Smti Madhabi Baruah (Borah) was removed from serv ice and she challenged her termination by filing a writ petition in this Court b eing W.P.(C) No.5530 of 1998. By a Judgment and Order dated 24th July, 2002, the writ petition was allowed and it was directed that Smti Madhabi Baruah (Borah) be reinstated in service. The order passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C) No.5530 of 1998 was not challenged by the State of Assam, but was challenged by the Governing Bo dy of the Kalaguri Bishnu Rabha Junior College. That challenge was rejected by a Division Bench in W.A. No.472 of 2002 decided on 5th June, 2003. It appears that Smti Madhabi Baruah (Borah) was not reinstated in servic e despite the order passed by the learned Single Judge on 24th July, 2002 and th e dismissal of the writ appeal filed by the Governing Body. This led her to file yet another writ petition before this Court out of which the present writ appea l has arisen. When the matter was taken up on an earlier occasion, an apprehension was expressed by learned counsel for the appellant that on the reinstatement of Smt i Madhabi Baruah (Borah), his client would be left without a job. Under these ci rcumstances, the possibility of creating a supernumerary post was sought to be e xplored so that both Smti Madhabi Baruah (Borah) and Smti Rumi Borah, the appell ant before us, could be accommodated. The Government of Assam through the Education (Secondary) Department has now passed an order dated 14th February, 2011 creating a supernumerary post of lecturer in Kalaguri Bishnu Rabha Junior College and Smti Madhabi Baruah (Borah) has been appointed against that supernumerary post. The substantive issue, therefore, has now been satisfactorily resolved. The only question that remains is regarding the seniority of the two per sons, that is, Smti Madhabi Baruah (Borah) and Smti Rumi Borah. It seems quite obvious that Smti Madhabi Baruah (Borah) having been appo inted as the first lecturer sometime in 1989 and Smti Rumi Borah having been app ointed sometime in 2000, Smti Madhabi Baruah (Borah) would rank senior. With this clarification, we dispose of this writ appeal as nothing furth er survives in this matter.
