ORDER

The petitioner was appointed as Draftsman in the year 1987. But the second respondent, after taking nine years, regularised his services with effect from 30.11.87 by the order dated 3.7.96, for no fault on the part of the petitioner. In that process, when the seniority list was taken on the bass of the regularised candidates, he lost several avenues of promotion. Now the petitioner is much senior to several other juniors. To rectify the same, he has also given a representation on 7.1.2015 with a request to re-fix his seniority with effect from 30.10.1994 and the second respondent has also given his comments. But the first respondent, till date, has not passed any orders. Therefore, a direction may be issued, he pleaded.

2. The learned Additional Government Pleader for the respondents sought for four weeks time to consider the pending representation of the petitioner.
