G. Jyothi Kirana, SC for APSRTC Counsel for respondent Nos.2 to 8 & 10: Smt. P. Rajani Reddy The Court made the following : JUDGMENT: (per TMK,J.) This writ appeal is filed against the order passed by the learned Single Judge of this court in dismissing W.P.No.2763 of 1989 by order dated 1.12.2000. Brief facts of the case are that the appellant/petitioner joined in APSRTC as a Mechanic Grade-II through direct recruitment on 3-1-1981 and was posted to work at the Regional workshop, Karimnagar. Subsequently he was promoted as mechanic Grade-I on 15-12-1988. In the provisional seniority list of Mechanic Grade-II the appellant was placed at serial No.26 instead of at Sl.No.13. The petitioner submitted a representation to the corporation on 8.1.1982 for giving him proper placement in the seniority list, which was rejected. Thereafter the corporation published the final seniority list through its proceedings dated 23-5-1983. Aggrieved by the same, the appellant preferred an appeal, which is pending, which was also rejected in the year 1988. While so, subsequent to the appointment of the appellant, certain employees have been transferred to Mechanic Grade-II on 3-3-1981 to work at regional workshop, Karimnagar and they have been shown above the petitioner in the seniority list. As per the circular, the transferred employees were eligible to seniority only from the date of their posting to regional workshop, Karimnagar. Since three vacancies of Leading Hand, which were promotion posts, the appellant filed a writ petition in W.P.No.2763 of 1989 for promotion to the post of Leading Hand by rectifying the seniority list. The said writ petition was dismissed by a Single Judge of this Court on 1-12-2000. Aggrieved by the same, the appellant filed this writ appeal. In view of the dismissal of Writ Petition No.564 of 1994 declining to interfere in the final seniority list at the very belated stage, this Writ Appeal is also dismissed. _______________________ Js.
