2. Undoubtedly, the learned counsel for the writ petitioner states that even during the interregnum period, large number of cases of similarly placed persons were considered by the respondents. This apart, the respondents have not taken any action to grant seniority pursuant to the order of acquittal. This being the factum of the case, without going into the merits of the matter, the second respondent is directed to consider the representation submitted by the writ petitioner on 02.04.2018 and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
