Petitioners’ grievance is that their position in the earlier gradation list of the year 2003 has been changed to their detriment. 2 An intervener has also intervened to contest his claim in the gradation list. This court feels it appropriate that the petitioners and intervener should appear before the Secretary Road Construction Department with their claims and supporting documents and for final determination of their seniority and ranking in the gradation list. Therefore, this writ application is disposed of. Petitioners and intervener are directed to appear before the Secretary Road Construction Department within one week from today with all supporting documents in respect of their claims of seniority and ranking in the gradation list. Upon their appearance the Secretary Road Construction Department will fix up a date within two weeks for scrutiny of their cases in their presence. Thereafter matter will be decided within one month from the said date fixed. The interim order of this Court dated 30.6.2010 shall continue till final decision is taken by the Secretary Road Construction Department. Prakash (J.N.Singh, J.)
