When it came to the question of promotion for the higher post, the petitioner had to face some disadvantage, on account of the modificaton of the rules. According to him, he lost his seniority in the post of Assistant Grade-I, and that the same was reflected in the subsequent post of Assistant Manager. Petitioner states that though he was extended the benefit of notional seniority in the cadre of Assistant Grade-I, it was not reflected in the superior post of Assistant Manager. In this context, he claims to have made a representation on 06-08-2005 to the Zonal Manager, the 2nd respondent herein, and complains that the same has not been disposed of as yet. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The circumstances, under which the petitioner was extended the benefit of notional seniority in the cadre of Assistant Grade-I, and denied the same for the next higher post; are not before this Court. The petitioner claims to have made a representation on 06-08-2005, in this regard. The 2nd respondent is under obligation to deal with the same, so that the petitioner could know, where he stands, in terms of his seniority. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner, to submit a copy of the representaion dated 06-08-2005, together with the copy of this order, to the 2nd respondent. The 2nd respondent, in turn, shall pass appropriate orders on the same, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.27-12-2005 Note: c.c. in three days. (B/O) KO
