In the recently communicated provisional seniority list of Junior Lecturers, his seniority was not shown from the date of his initial appointment i.e., from 26-10-1988. Therefore, he made a representation to the respondent on 25-02-2004 to regularize his services notionally with effect from 26-10-1988.
