The claim of the petitioner is that based on the said provisional service, he should have been included in Ext.P2 seniority list dated 16-02-2010. Considering the fact that similarly situated daily waged employees, namely, persons from Sl.Nos.516 to 545 who worked in various circles, are included in Ext.P2, there is no reason to arbitrarily discriminate the petitioner in the matter of inclusion in Ext.P2, it is submitted. It is further submitted that persons included at Sl.Nos.540 to 545 were already appointed pursuant to their inclusion in Ext.P2. Raising grievances against his exclusion from Ext.P2 list, the petitioner has approached the 1st respondent by filing Ext.P3 representation. However, no action was taken on Ext.P3 representation. 2. Ext.P2 combined seniority list has been prepared pursuant to the direction of this Court in W.P(C) No.12112/2008. WPC.9755/2010 : 2 : In the light of the specific contentions raised by the petitioner that he is similarly situated to those included at Sl.Nos.516 to 545, I think the claim of the petitioner requires serious consideration. It is a fact that on account of such inclusion in Ext.P2, persons included at Sl.Nos.540 to 545 already got employment. Therefore, there will be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P3 representation and pass orders thereon, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
