Balachandran, J. ---------------------------------------- R.P.No.138 of 2009 in W.A. No. 278 of 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of February, 2009 Order Koshy, Ag.C.J. Contention of the review petitioner is that since appointment to the post of Junior Employment Officer (incorrectly typed in the judgment as Employment Officer) is an appointment by transfer, his entry post is Junior Employment Officer and hence the post of Employment Officer is a promotion post based on the entry post. That contention was not accepted by us in the impugned judgment. Even though his appointment as Junior Employment Officer was on the basis of seniority and by selection that post cannot be treated as an entry cadre. Since he has got four promotions in his career, he is not entitled to get time bound promotion. There is no ground to review the judgment and hence the review petition is dismissed.
