BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.NANDAKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/09/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.27869 2007 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of September, 2007 JUDGMENT The essential challenge in the writ petition is against Exts.P6 and P8, both of which are provisional seniority lists. Obviously, the petitioners and similarly situated persons have a right to file objections to Exts.P6 and P8. 2. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to interfere with the same, at this stage. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the petitioners may be permitted to file objections to Ext.P6 and P8, as they were apparently advised to challenge Exts.P6 and P8 as such in this writ petition and they did not avail of the opportunity to file objections to Exts.P6 and P8. 4. It is open to the petitioners to file objections to Exts.P6 and P8, if the seniority list pursuant to Exts.P6 and P8 has not been finalised so far. If so such objections may also be taken into account, provided the petitioners file the same within a period of two weeks from today. Subject to the above observations, this writ petition is disposed of. All the contention of the petitioners are left open. V.GIRI, JUDGE css/ : : : :
