T.P PRADEEP THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/04/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: J.Chelameswar, C.J. & Antony Dominic, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.A.No. 447 OF 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 1st day of April, 2011 JUDGMENT Antony Dominic, J. The appellant filed the writ petition seeking to quash Ext.P6 memorandum issued by the KSRTC calling for details of Special Grade Conductors for the purpose of promotion to the post of Station Master. In the writ petition the learned Judge passed an interim order dated 22.03.2011 permitting promotion from Ext.P3 gradation list on a provisional basis. It is challenging this order the appeal has been filed. 2. As rightly noticed by the learned Single Judge, presently Ext.P3 gradation list is in force. If there are vacancies, promotions to those vacancies are to be effected. Such promotion can be only as per Ext.P3 gradation list. It was considering these facts that the learned Judge permitted promotions, but however, safeguarding the interest of the appellants by making such WA No.447 of 2011 -:2:- promotions provisional and subject to the result of the writ petition. Such an order, is purely an interlocutory order, and we do not see any illegality warranting interference in an appeal. We see no merit in the writ appeal and the same is dismissed. J.Chelameswar, Chief Justice. Antony Dominic, Judge. ttb
