JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA. PRESENT: MR. R.S. BAJAJ, ADVOCATE FOR THE PETITIONER. NONE FOR RESPONDENT NOS.1 & 2. MR.R.K. CHOPRA, SR. ADVOCATE WITH MS. MANINDER, ADVOCATE FOR RESPONDENT NOS.3 to 5. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The petitioner claimed seniority over and above respondent No.3 as according to the petitioner respondent No.3 was serving in Market Committee Bhogpur whereas, the petitioner was serving as Auction Recorder in Market Committee Garhshankar. Reply has been filed on behalf of respondent No.3 wherein it has been averred that parent Market Committee of respondent No.3 was Garhshankar and she was transferred to Bhogpur Market Committee temporarily and therefore, lien of respondent No.3 continues to be in Garhshankar. In view of the aforementioned averments and the reasoning given in the order (Annexure P-7), we find no ground to hold that the petitioner is senior to respondent No.3, as respondent No.3 had joined her service in 1983, whereas the petitioner had joined service in 1989. No merit. Dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE October 20, 2008 (RAJAN GUPTA) Gulati JUDGE
