Learned counsel appearing for the appellants has submitted that as per the interim order of this Court dated 09.09.2004 in W.V.M.P.Nos.2644 and 2654 of 2004, four posts of Superintendents have been kept vacant. It is also submitted by the learned counsel that the posts available are 18 and there are 51 persons above the writ petitioners and the same has been disputed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the writ petitioners. In view of the fact that the writ petition is still pending, we do not want to express our opinion with regard to the seniority. But, however, in the interests of both the parties, the impugned order is modified to the effect that there shall be a direction to the appellants to keep four posts of Superintendents vacant pending the disposal of W.P. With the above direction, the Writ Appeal is disposed of. However, the Registry is directed to post the Writ Petition for final hearing on 20.06.2005.
