THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.24175 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Deputy Executive Engineer, in A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited, Hyderabad. The matter relating to preparation of seniority list of Deputy Executive Engineers is pending since long time. Provisional seniority list was published once on 22.12.2008, and thereafter, on 06.02.2010. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have not finalized the seniority list as yet, and in the meanwhile, the promotions are being effected to the superior posts. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The first provisional seniority list was published on 22.12.2008. By this time, the seniority lit ought to have been finalized. It is, however, submitted that, on account of lack of clarity as to the validity of the certificates of qualification held by some of the Deputy Executive Engineers, the matter could not be finalized. In the recent past, the controversy has been resolved. Learned Standing Counsel further submits that his client will not effect promotions, unless the seniority list is finalized, to the superior category. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall finalize the seniority list in the category of Deputy Executive Engineers, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till the seniority list is finalized, the respondents shall not effect any promotions whatever, to the superior category. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L.
