THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 23049 OF 1999 Dated: 20.01.2011 Between: C.Obul Reddy and others ..... Petitioners And Andhra Pradesh State Financial Corporation and others ….. Respondents The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 23049 OF 1999 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the seniority list prepared by the respondents 1 and 2 for the individuals with law qualification and other qualifications as on 31.03.1999, is arbitrary and illegal and to quash the consequential promotion orders dated 12.10.1999. The petitioners also seek a further direction to give promotions to the petitioners as per the seniority list as originally existing. On behalf of the respondents 1 and 2, a counter affidavit has been filed stating that the petitioners have already preferred an appeal challenging the preparation of separate seniority list. While contending that the action of the Corporation in preparing the separate seniority list is in accordance with law, it is further stated that the promotions were already effected and the promotees were functioning in the respective promoted posts. At the outset, it is to be noticed that all the petitioners have retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation. In the circumstances, the adjudication on merits at this stage is not warranted. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 20.01.2011 Ivd
