PSTU/Admn-2/Estt/99-2008 dt. 28-1-2008 of Jr. Assistants above then the petitioners, as illegal, arbitrary in gross violation of principles of natural justice and Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently set aside the Proc. PSTU/Admn-2/Estt/99-2008 dt. 28-1-2008 issued by the 2nd respondent or otherwise petitioners will suﬀer serious loss and great hardship and pass such other order or orders. Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.CHALLA SIVASANKAR Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HIGHER EDUCATION The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioners are working as Junior Assistants in Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University, the second respondent herein. The University published a provisional seniority list on 12.05.2000 and invited objections. The name of the third respondent was not shown in it. For one reason or the other, the matter was not ﬁnalized. A second provisional seniority list was published on 28.01.2008 and objections were invited for the same. The name of the third respondent was included at serial No.21 in the provisional seniority list. The petitioners raised an objection for inclusion of the name of the third respondent in the provisional list of the year 2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel for the University. The very object of publishing a provisional seniority list is to invite objections from the aﬀected parties. In case the petitioners feel aggrieved by the inclusion of the name of the third respondent in the seniority list or the place assigned to him, it shall always be open to them to submit their objections. In fact, the petitioners claim to have submitted objections. There can be said to have any real grievance, if only a ﬁnal seniority list is published, ignoring the objections. Therefore, the Writ Petition is premature. There is no reason to believe that the second respondent would not consider the objections raised by the petitioners. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the second respondent shall take the objections raised by the petitioners into account before ﬁnalizing the seniority list of Lower Divisional Clerks. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ Dt.05.08.2008 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J GJ
