JUDGMENT The main relief prayed for by the petitioner in the instant case is for a direction to the respondent to finalize Ext.P5 provisional seniority list for the post of Draftsman Grade-II by following the ratio prescribed between direct recruits and promotees after considering Exts.P6 and P7 objections and that the same may be done before finalizing the seniority list of Draftsman Grade-I. 2. Learned Counsel for the respondent submits that the seniority list of Draftsman Grade-I shall be finalized only after seniority for Draftsman Grade-II is finalized and list is published. This submission is recorded. The final seniority list pursuant to Ext.P5 shall be published after considering the objections in Exts.P6 and P7 taking note of Ext.P1 judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI) JUDGE kkms/
