CORAM : D.D.SINHA AND SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATE : FEBRUARY 27, 2008. Heard. The grievance of the petitioner is in respect of the decision taken by the competent committee whereby the persons named in the order dated 06.02.2008, which is impugned in the present writ petition, are recommended to be promoted to the post of Deputy Executive Engineer (Civil). The counsel for the petitioner states that the persons whose names are recommended are junior to the petitioner, and therefore, the impugned order, granting promotion to these persons, is bad in law. We have considered the contentions canvassed by the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned office order dated 06.02.2008. A perusal of the office order shows that on 2 recommendations of the competent selection committee and in pursuance of the approval accorded by the competent authority i.e. Chief General Manager in consultation with Executive Director (Operation) in exercise of the power delegated to him under Schedules III, IV and V appended to the Maharashtra State Electricity Board Employees Service Regulations, the persons empanelled in the chart of the said order were promoted as Deputy Executive Engineer. In the backdrop of the above referred facts and in absence of any procedure placed before us to show that the promotion to the above post would be possible only on the basis of seniority, it is difficult for us to agree with the contentions canvassed by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Consequently, the petition suffers from lack of merits, the same is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE APTE
