GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 10862 OF 2010 (G) ===================== Dated this the 17th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioner is that his name has been omitted from Ext.P5 seniority list of LDC/Village Assistant. According to the petitioner, when Ext.P3 draft seniority list was published, his name was omitted to be included and he filed Ext.P4 objection. It is stated that without considering his objection, seniority list has been finalised and published by Ext.P5, where also the mistake of omitting his name is repeated. Petitioner submits that that 3rd respondent himself has brought to the notice of the 2nd respondent the omission in Ext.P5 and there has not been any action in the matter. Petitioner submits that he is due for promotion as Tahsildar and in view of the omission of his name in Ext.P5, his claim is likely to be overlooked. It is in these circumstances, the writ petition is filed. 2. If as a matter of fact, there has been an omission in the seniority list, necessarily the matter has to be corrected. 3. Having regard to the pendency of Ext.P6 before the 2nd respondent, it is directed that the 2nd respondent shall take WPC No. 10862/10 :2 : necessary action on Ext.P6. This the 2nd respondent shall do, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. 4. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
