J U D G M E N T

Seniority in service amongst drivers trained to drive AC Low Floor buses is the criteria to be followed. I have already held so by judgment dated 3.7.2015 in W.P.(C) No.20059/2015. The above principle shall be followed in allotting duty to the trained drivers to drive AC Low Floor buses.

2. Ext.P5 representation put in by the petitioners in this regard is pending consideration. I direct the second respondent to consider Ext.P5 representation with notice to the petitioners. The needful shall be done within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of.
