TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR & V.K.MOHANAN, JJ. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.1184 of 2004 .................................................................... Dated this the 11th day of June, 2008. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The question raised i.e. petitioner's eligibility for seniority in the A.S.I. cadre with effect from date of completion of probation is settled by Ext.P10 judgment, Ext.P6 order of the Government and Ext.P7 instruction issued by the D.G.P. The petitioner was subsequently promoted as S.I. and C.I. However, seniority is not refixed because in the A.S.I. cadre D.I.G., Trichur has not implemented Exts.P6, P10 and P7 referred above. The W.P. is accordingly allowed directing the respondents to refix petitioner's seniority in the A.S.I. cadre in terms of the Division Bench judgment abovereferred and Exts.P6 and P7 orders and give consequential seniority in the higher grades also without any delay. In order to facilitate the above, Ext.P3 is vacated. There will be direction to the respondents to issue final orders within two months from date of receipt of copy of this judgment.
