MR.ARAVIND KUMAR BABU, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.20347 of 2010 (P) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 30th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is working as Upper Division Clerk (Higher Grade) in the Animal Husbandary Department. He challenges Exts.P8 & P9. 2. According to the petitioner, though Ext.P8 is only a provisional seniority list, since Ext.P8 is contrary to Exts.P3 & P4 seniority lists, Ext.P8 is illegal and therefore is challenged in this writ petition. It is also his contention that Ext.P9 order of promotion issued on the basis of provisional seniority as shown in Ext.P8 is also illegal. 3. Therefore, essentially, the grievance of the petitioner is against Ext.P8, which admittedly is only a provisional seniority list. If the petitioner is aggrieved, it is open to the petitioner to file his objection and thereafter it is for the 2nd respondent to finalise Ext.P8. Only at that stage can the petitioner seek redressal of his grievances. Having regard to the above, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue his grievances against Ext.P8 by filing objections in the matter, this writ petition is disposed of. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
