(Oral) The dispute, in the instant writ petition, is preparation of the seniority list of the people in the feeder cadre, who are entitled to be promoted to the post of Head of the Department. It is the contention of the petitioners that many a people, who featured in the seniority list of the feeder post, are not entitled to be in the seniority list. It is being contended that unjustly those people were brought in the said seniority list and three of them have been promoted by the order dated 1st September, 2009. It is, therefore, a dispute pertaining to preparation of the seniority list. Such a dispute is required to be thrashed out, at the first instance, before the Tribunal. We, accordingly, relegate the petitioners to the Tribunal. The writ petition is, accordingly, rejected. (U.C. Dhyani, J.) ( Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 15.09.2011 15.09.2011 P. Singh
