Ext.P10 appeal was filed against Exts.P3 and P4 seniority lists. Though the petitioners have already approached the Government raising their grievances against Exts.P3 and P4 through Ext.P10 and the same is even, now pending before the 3rd respondent.

Needless to say that before passing orders on Ext.P10 person/persons likely to be affected shall also be put on notice. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
