SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 37648 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 20th day of December, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are the employees of the Department of Medical Education. They seek the following reliefs: “i) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or order directing the respondents to finalize Ext.P6 and P6 (a) combined provisional seniority lists only after considering the objections raised by the petitioners in Ext.P7 and P7 (a) and also affording them an opportunity for being heard. ii) Declare that the vacancies that arose and to be filled up by promotion, in the Department of Medical Education prior to the 17.06.2009. i.e. the date of transferring the lien of the optees to the Department of Medical Education, are liable to be filled up among the employees who are directly recruited to the Department of Medical Education.” Ext.P6 & P6 (a) are provisional seniority lists which has been published inviting objections. The petitioners have already submitted objections also. I have no reason to assume that, the respondents would not consider the petitioners' objections insofar as the objections have been specifically called for while publishing Ext.P6 & P6 (a). Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/-
