CORAM : S.S. SHINDE & P.R. BORA, JJ.

PER COURT :- Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner.
2.
This Petition is filed with following prayers :- "D) By issuing appropriate writ, order or directions the judgment and order passed by Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal in Original Application No. 506/1997 dated 6.11.2009 may kindly be quashed and set aside.
E) By issuing appropriate writ, order or directions the respondent no.1 and 2 may kindly be directed to grant deem date of
promotion to the applicant in cadre of Assistant Director of Animal Husbandry Class I (Junior) with effect from date of passing departmental examination i.e. 24.10.1976 and further promotion."
3.
We have given careful considerations to the submissions advanced by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. There is inordinate delay in filing this Writ Petition, in as much as, the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal has decided the Original Application on 6th November, 2009. This Writ Petition is filed in April, 2015. Apart from it, even on merits, we find that, the cogent reasons are given by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal in paras 6 to 9 that, at no point of time, the petitioner has taken exception to the seniority list, which was prepared in the year 1996 in pursuant to the directions issued by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal at Principal Seat.
4.
Upon considering the entire material placed on record, we do not see any perversity in the reasons assigned by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, rather the
reasons assigned are in consonance with the material placed on record before the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal.
5.
For the reasons aforesaid, we do not find any merit in the Petition, hence, the Petition stands rejected. ( P.R. BORA, J. ) ( S.S. SHINDE, J. ) ...
