THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23825 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners are appointed as Junior Accounts Officers (J.A.Os.) in the year 2004-2005 on contract basis, for a period of two years. Subsequently, their services were regularized. The petitioners contend that all the Distribution Companies in the State have resolved to give weightage to the contractual services of the J.A.Os., but, respondent No.1 has not implemented the said resolution. Respondent No.1 published a provisional seniority list on 18.09.2010 inviting objections for the same. The petitioners were placed below the contract recruit J.A.Os. Their grievance is that the provisional seniority list is defective and contrary to law. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1. What is challenged in this writ petition is only a provisional seniority list. By its very nature, it does not confer any rights upon the individuals, and respondent No.1 has invited objections for the same. The petitioners can put forward their objections to the provisional seniority list. The occasion to effect promotions on regular basis would arise only after final seniority list is published. The learned Standing Counsel submits that respondent No.1 does not intend to effect promotions till the seniority in the category of J.A.Os. is finalized. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioners to submit their objections to the provisional seniority list within a period of two weeks from today. It shall be open to the respondents to effect promotions to the higher posts after the final seniority list is published. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 29.09.2010. kdl
