SBCWP5436/1997 // 1 // IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.5436/1997 Mahendra Singh Shekhawat Vs. The State of Rajasthan and Others Date of Order ::: 01.04.2010 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mohammad Rafiq None present for petitioner Shri Hemant Mathur, Deputy Government Counsel for respondents #### By the Court:- Case called. No one appeared on behalf of petitioner even in second round. This writ petition has been filed by petitioner Mahendra Singh Shekhawat way back in the year 1997 at the time when he was still working on the post of Assistant Engineer (Civil), praying therein that respondents be directed to make compliance of judgment of the Supreme Court passed in the case of Vijay Singh Deora Vs. The State of Rajasthan and Others, decided on 03.10.1996, and, on that basis, to prepare a fresh seniority list of Junior Engineers and accord due consequential benefits, and, till that is done, no meeting of Departmental Promotion Committee be convened to further consider cases for promotion to the post of Executive Engineer (Civil) for vacancies of the years 1996-97 and 1997-98. Shri Hemant Mathur, learned Deputy SBCWP5436/1997 // 2 // Government Counsel appearing on behalf of respondents, informed the court that subsequent to filing the writ petition, petitioner was promoted to the post of Executive Engineer against vacancies of the year 1999-2000 and thereafter to the post of Superintending Engineer. The respondents could not immediately finalize seniority list of Junior Engineers pursuant to judgment of the Supreme Court in Vijay Singh Deora's case (Supra) on account of pendency of various litigations. However, they have issued a final seniority list on 15.01.2010. He further submits that in view thereof petitioner should have no grievance as per new seniority list issued by respondents. In the light of submissions made by respondents, such a relief that has been prayed for by petitioner cannot be granted to him because petitioner has not updated the facts and even not brought subsequent developments on the record. The writ petition is therefore disposed of with liberty to petitioner to make a representation to respondents on the basis of redrawn seniority list if any of his grievance still survives. A copy of this order be endorsed to petitioner. (Mohammad Rafiq) J. //Jaiman//
