(C) No. 10160 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 8th day of April, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Lower Division Clerk(Higher Grade) presently working in the District Insurance Office, Kollam. He joined the Kerala State Insurance Department on 3.3.2003 on inter departmental transfer from the Revenue Department. Thereafter, the draft seniority list of the non- gazetted officers under the Kerala State Insurance Department as on 31.12.2009 was published as per Ext.P2. The said list is infected with serious mistakes and for instance, a person who joined the department on 20.6.2003 is ranked as 5th whereas the petitioner who had joined the department on 3.3.2003 is assigned only rank No.29. Feeling aggrieved by the assigning of seniority in Ext.P2 list, he has submitted Ext.P3 objection dated 25.3.2009. The grievance of the petitioner is that so far as no action has been taken on Ext.P3 filed against Ext.P2 draft seniority list. In these circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P3 before finalization of Ext.P2 in case, it was not already finalised. It is made clear that if Ext.P2 draft list is already finalized, the petitioner will be at liberty to WPC.10160 of 2010 : 2 : file a representation under Rule 27B of Part II of the Kerala State and Subordinate Services Rules, 1958.
