Second respondent, however, promoted third respondent by violating the seniority of petitioner. Case of petitioner is that he has filed representation and he was also promoted vide Ext.P4 order. He would submit that his grievance remained unredressed and without disposing of Exts.P5 and P6 representations, Ext.P8 order was issued re-allocating the post of petitioner due to abolition of the post of HSA (Malayalam) in the GVHSS, Koppam where the petitioner and his junior-most third respondent are working at present. Petitioner preferred Ext.P9 representation. WP(C) NO.3189/07 D 2 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader also.
