Mr. Alladeen Khan, for respondents Instant petition has been filed seeking his promotion as Executive Engineer claiming parity with employees who were finally absorbed in Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (“AVVNL”). Petitioner was initially appointed as Junior Engineer in erstwhile Rajasthan State Electricity Board (“RSEB”) on 22/12/1966 and promoted as Assistant Engineer vide order dt.01/08/88 (Ann.1). However, on unbundling of RSEB, certain Assistant Engineers, as alleged to be junior to him, were absorbed in AVVNL but as regards present petitioner, he was absorbed in Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd (“RVVNL”). Case set up by petitioner is that in terms of Cl.6(3) of Rajasthan Power Sector Reforms/Transfer Scheme, 2000, he was also entitled to the protection of the rank, scale of pay and inter-se seniority as existing in the Board (RSEB) on the effective date of transfer ; CW 8831/06 //2// as such once those who were juniors to him in erstwhile RSEB are promoted as Executive Engineer in AVVNL, petitioner too is entitled for promotion claiming parity. Submission of the Counsel is without any merit for the reason that once petitioner stood absorbed in RVVNL is entitled to be considered for further promotion according to his seniority maintained in his organization in which he has been finally absorbed and no parity as regards seniority maintained in other organization (AVVNL) can be claimed. Consequently, writ petition being without merit fails and is hereby dismissed. No order as to costs. (Ajay Rastogi), J. K.Khatri/p.2/8831CW06-6Jn.doc
