According to them, the provisional seniority list is contrary to B.P.Ms.No.354, dated 12.12.1994 and prayed for setting aside the list. Further reliefs are also claimed. The respondents filed counter affidavit stating that what is challenged is only provisional seniority list and the petitioners can be said to be having any grievance only when final seniority list is published. It is stated that objections, if any, raised by the petitioners would be taken into account before the final seniority list is published. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the respondents. The challenge in the writ petition, is to provisional seniority list. By its very nomenclature it is provisional and final seniority list would be published after the objections by the effected persons are taken into account. The petitioners can feel genuine grievance, if only the final seniority list is published adversely effecting their rights. It is stated that identical writ petition, being W.P.No.1264 of 2009, was disposed of by this Court through its order dated 05.07.2010 directing that the respondents shall take into account, the objections that may be submitted by the concerned employees, before the final seniority list is published. The promotion of any Assistant Engineers, on the basis of the provisional seniority list would naturally be subject to the final seniority list that may be published. Hence the writ petition is disposed of directing that the third respondent shall publish the final seniority list after taking into account the objections that may be raised by the petitioners. The promotion of Assistant Divisional Engineers (Electrical) on the basis of the provisional seniority list shall be subject to the final seniority list that may be published. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. 8th July, 2010 Js.
