BY SECRETARY TO REVENUE, GOVT. SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 19428 OF 2009 (W) ===================== Dated this the 10th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Ext.P3 seniority list is under challenge. 2. The grievance of the petitioners is that they were initially included in Ext.P1 select list for the post of Senior Superintendent. It is stated that when Ext.P3 seniority list was prepared, the seniority has been altered, as a result of which, going by the seniority now assigned, they will not be getting promotion as Senior Superintendents. It is on this basis, Ext.P3 seniority list is challenged. 3. However, what is noticed is that, against the seniority list, based on which Ext.P1 was prepared, writ petitions were filed before this Court, which was allowed. It is seen that writ appeal filed against the said judgment was also dismissed, as a result of which, seniority had to be revised, and it is on that basis, Ext.P3 has been issued. 4. Therefore, so long as the judgments of this Court hold the field, alteration effected to the seniority consequent on the WPC No. 19428/09 :2 : directions of this Court, which has been carried out by Ext.P3, cannot be faulted. In that view of the matter, Ext.P3 is unassailable. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
