THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25208 OF 2005 Date:29.11.2005 Between: P.Moinuddin Khan … Petitioner AND The Managing Director and others … Respondents ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Work Inspector Grade-II in the first respondent-corporation on 22.03.1987. Subsequently, he was promoted to Grade-I. The third respondent prepared a list of Work Inspectors in Kurnool District, way back on 10.12.1996 and invited objections, if any, for the tentative seniority list. The petitioner claims that he has submitted objection and complains that no action has been taken so far. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that according to the norms that are prescribed by the first respondent, the petitioner is entitled to be placed at Serial No.8, whereas he was shown at Serial No.11. The learned standing counsel, who took notice at the admission stage, submits that the seniority list could not be finalized on account of the fact that the rules framed by the first respondent are pending approval before the Government. He contends that soon after service rules are approved by the Government, the seniority list would be prepared, duly taking the objections raised by the affected persons into account. As of now, the petitioner is placed at Serial No.11 in the tentative seniority list, which is prepared solely on the basis of dates of appointments. The question as to whether the list needs to be revised by maintaining the ratio between direct recruitees and promotees can be considered only after the services rules are finalized. It is stated that the promotions are being made only on ad hoc basis pending the finalization. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of directing that any promotions to a higher post from Work Inspector, shall be made on temporary or ad hoc basis, till the seniority list is finalized. _____________ 29.11.2005 kdl
