The petitioners were working as Senior Assistants in the K.S.E.B. So they were included in Annexure A4 list. Annexure A4 is the list of eligible candidates for promotion to the post of Divisional Accountants. But, in the meantime, they were already promoted to the post of Senior Superintendent. Therefore, by Annexure A9, they were removed from Annexure A4 list. This Court quashed Annexure A9 and held that as long as they have their lein in the post of Senior Assistant, they are entitled to be appointed to the post of Divisional Accountants also. The review filed against the said judgment has been dismissed. It has, therefore, gained finality. 2. The learned standing counsel for the K.S.E.B submitted that in obedience to the direction in Annexure A1 judgment, Annexure A4 has been restored. The petitioners will be considered C.O.C.No.99/2008 in W.P.(C).No.2223/2006 -: 2 :- for promotion to the post of Divisional Accountant as and when their turn arises. It is also submitted that if any junior of the petitioners has been promoted, the claim of the petitioners shall be considered forthwith for promotion with effect from the date their junior was promoted. The learned Standing Counsel undertakes to do that immediately. In view of the above submission, the contempt of court case is closed. (K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE) ms
