THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION N0.18725 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Lower Division Clerk (L.D.C.) by the then Electricity Board through proceedings, dated 17.11.1993. She joined the duty on 20.12.1993 within the stipulated time. She made several representations to the respondents, stating that she has not been assigned the proper place in the seniority list of L.D.Cs. and that in turn has reflected in the subsequent posts, to which she was promoted. Ultimately, through memo, dated 29.07.2009, the 2nd respondent rejected the representations made by the petitioner. This writ petition is filed challenging the said memo and for a consequential direction to the respondents to fix her seniority in the cadre of L.D.C., in terms of Regulation 26 of the A.P.S.E.B. Service Regulations Part-II. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner is under the impression that her seniority must be reckoned from the date of the order of appointment i.e., 17.11.1993. However, it is only the date, on which an employee joins the service, that would be treated as the date of entry, and that it is from that date that the seniority is reckoned. Regulation 26 mandates that the seniority of a person in any category shall be reckoned on the basis of the rank assigned to him in the approved list drawn by the appointing authority. The petitioner is not able to point out that she has been assigned any rank in the post of L.D.C. and that the same has not been reflected in the subsequent promotions. She did not furnish the names of the persons, who according to her, figured below her in the merit list of L.D.Cs. but were placed above her at subsequent stages. Under these circumstances, no exception can be taken to the memo issued by the 2nd respondent. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 02.08.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION N0.18725 of 2011 Date: 02.08.2011 JSU
