WPSS No.276/2010 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala J. Mr. B. S. Adhikari, the learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Subhash Upadhyay, the learned brief holder for the respondents. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the seniority has to be based on the basis of the educational qualification and not on the basis of the initial appointment. In my opinion, the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is patently baseless. The seniority will also be counted from the date of the initial appointment and not on the basis of the educational qualification, which the person may possess. The writ petition is dismissed summarily. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) Dated: 23.4.2010 Nishant
