262811 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 2628 OF 2011 Hanmanta Mariappa ...Petitioner V/s. Union of India & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. P.P. Goyal for the Petitioner CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR AND MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR , JJ. DATE: 8TH APRIL, 2011 P.C.:- Heard the counsel for the petitioner. 2. Considering the opinion recorded by the Tribunal, in particular in paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2 of the impugned decision, the conclusion reached by the Tribunal is inevitable. The petitioner has failed to substantiate that he has, in fact, been superseded by any of his juniors. The seniority of personnel was fixed on the closing position as on 1st January, 1987. That is the date on which the Diesel Cadre of Solapur Division was closed. As a result of that, the placement of the petitioner in subsequent Seniority List dated 1st January, 1999 was not the same as the seniority position circulated as on 1st January, 1993. No fault can be found with the finding so recorded by the Tribunal. Hence, this petition is dismissed. MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J. A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.
