JUDGMENT The petitioners are aggrieved by the seniority list produced as Ext.P8. They are L.D. Clerks working in the Medical College Hospital, Alappuzha. Mainly, their grievance is the following: They were originally appointed in the Directorate of Health Service. But the Dual Control system of was abolished and the department was separated as Directorate of Medical Education and Directorate of Health Services and the petitioners were shifted to the Medical Education Service as per their option. They have now been shifted to the Medical College Hospital, Alappuzha. According to the petitioners, by treating them as inter district transferees, the seniority list has been finalised. It is stated that even though they raised objection to the provisional seniority list, without considering the same, the final seniority list has been published. 2. Learned Govt. Pleader submitted that the petitioners have got an effective remedy under Rule 27-B of KS & SSR to challenge the final seniority list before the Government within a period of six months. In the light of the fact that the petitioners have got an effective wpc 1870/2011 2 remedy under the rules itself, without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to invoke the said remedy, the writ petition is disposed of. All the legal questions raised are left open. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
