CWP No. 2459/2009 20.7.2009 Present: Mr. Sanjeev Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. Advocate General with Mr J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General for the respondents. CMP No. 4807/2009 Allowed. CWP No. 2459/2009 The petitioner was appointed as Vidya Upasak on 16.8.2000. His services were regularized on the post of Primary Teacher (Junior Trained Basic Teacher) on 1.10.2007. The State Government has issued a tentative seniority list of Junior Trained Basic Teachers with effect from 25.12.1997 to 31.12.2008. The petitioner has been assigned seniority No. 3027. His precise case is that his services should have been regularized in the year 2005 instead of October, 2007 and since he and similarly situate persons had filed separate petitions seeking regularization with effect from 2005 instead of 2007 till the decision of these petitions, the respondents shall be restrained from going ahead with the process of filling up the posts of Trained Graduate Teachers by way of promotion. We are of the considered opinion that the process initiated by the State cannot be stalled merely on the ground that the petitioner and similarly situate persons have chosen to file separate petition seeking regularization with effect from 2005 instead of 2007. In other words, the petition is pre-mature. The petitioner has not assailed the seniority list Annexure P-7. The process for filling up the posts by way of promotion in these circumstances is to be carried out on the basis of seniority list Annexure P-7. It was necessary for the petitioner to assail the seniority list and also to array the persons, who according to him are juniors to him. In view of above observations, there is no force in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J. (Rajiv Sharma), J. July 20, 2009. *awasthi*
