Raising grievances against Ext.P7 final seniority list, she has filed statutory representation as provided under Rule 27B of Part II of KS & SSR. The claim of the petitioner is that going by Exts.P3 and P4, the petitioner is entitled to get higher ranking in Ext.P7 seniority list. It is the further contention of the petitioner that if seniority was assigned duly taking note of Exts.P3 and P4, the petitioner would have obtained promotion by now. On account of improper assignment of seniority, she has been denied promotion. It is raising such contentions that the petitioner has preferred Ext.P8 representation before the 1 st respondent. Ext.P7 is admittedly a final seniority list. Ext.P8 would reveal that it is a representation as provided under Rule 27B of Part II of KS & SSR. Since Ext.P8 is a statutory representation, the 1 st respondent is bound to consider the same. WPC.11187/2010 : 2 : In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1 st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8, taking into account Exts.P3 and P4, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to say that in case seniority of the petitioner is to be re-assigned, appropriate follow up actions shall be taken by the respondents, expeditiously, at any rate within a period of two months thereafter.
