Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Anurag Goyal, Advocate, for the petitioners. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. Civil Misc.No.4932 of 2011 Documents taken on record. Application disposed of. Civil Writ Petition No.2761 of 2011 The petitioners, who are serving as Kanungos, have filed this writ petition to challenge the seniority list on the basis of which further promotions to the post of Naib Tehsildar are being considered. After referring to the rule governing the promotion to the post of Kanungo, the counsel would challenge the seniority assigned to respondent Nos.5 to 8 to urge that the petitioners would be senior to them by length of service. The initial seniority list, which was fixed District-wise, was revised in view of the order passed by a Division Bench of this Court on 30.11.1997. Santosh Lal and Krishan Kumar had approached this court through CWP No.9427 of 1997, which was allowed and directions were issued to assign seniority to them Civil Writ Petition No.2761 of 2011 :2: as Patwari from the date of appointment. Once the seniority has been revised on the basis of a judgment passed by Division Bench of this Court, any grievance still made would have to be first resolved by challenging the said order. The difficulty, which the petitioners would face may be real, but once the seniority has been revised on the basis of judgment passed by the Division Bench, which has acquired finality, the seniority list cannot be allowed to be interfered with unless the said judgment is put to challenge. In this view of the matter, it will not be appropriate to interfere with the dispute of seniority as it would tantamount to interfere in the earlier order passed by the Division Bench. Dismissed.
