By the present writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to appoint the seasonal collection Amins in accordance of seniority list dated 31.8.2005. The short submission of the petitioner is that respondent no. 2 has prepared a seniority list of the seasonal collection Amins of Tehsil Laksar on 31.8.2005. In that seniority list the name of the petitioner stands at serial no. 2. The petitioner has alleged that respondent no.2 is not providing appointment to the Amins according to the seniority list and has provided work to one Sri Sunil Kumar Tyagi ignoring the seniority of the petitioner. The petitioner has moved an application on 22.3.2006 to the respondent no. 2 but the respondent has arbitrarily and illegally gave appointment to the junior person ignoring the seniority of the petitioner. In view of above, a writ of mandamus is issued directing the respondents to take work of Seasonal Collection Amins strictly according to the seniority list prepared by respondent no.2 on 31.8.2005. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. No order as to costs. Dated: 31.3.2006 Rajesh Tandon, J. *Dhyani
