THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.21838 OF 1995 DATED: 24-10-2006 BETWEEN G.G.Sudarshanam, S/o.G.P.David, aged 42 years, Asst.LIC of India Branch Office, Cuddapah District and others. …PETITIONERS AND Senior Divisional Manager, L.I.C. of India, Divisional Office, Station road, Cuddapah, and another. …RESPONDENT ORDER: It is the case of the petitioners that they are entitled to seniority from the date of their initial appointment as was given in the case of Sri Chinaswamy. Learned counsel for the respondent submits that, in fact, the regular seniority from the date of initial appointment in the case of Sri Chinaswamy has been cancelled. It is further submitted that in that case the adhoc service of the individual was considered as regular appointment under certain mistaken notion and the same has been rectified, as such, the petitioners cannot rely on the said erroneous order. However, when the matter came up for hearing on 17.10.2006 none appeared for the petitioners, hence, the matter was directed to be listed under the caption for dismissal. Even today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, neither the petitioners appear nor there is any representation on their behalf. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed for the default of the petitioners. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J October 24, 2006 DSK
