O R D E R

By consent of both sides, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. 2.The case of the petitioner is that he is the employee of the Respondent Electricity Corporation. He was appointed as Assessor Grade-II and thereafter his name was not considered for promotion by the first respondent Electricity Board. He has sent representation dated 31.05.2018 to revise the seniority on par with his juniors appointed during the year 2007 and thereby accord notional promotion on par with his juniors, but the same was not considered till date. Hence, the petitioner is before this Court.
