Learned counsel for the petitioners, at the very outset, fairly states while referring to the averments taken in para 10 of the legal notice dated 25.8.2014 (Annexure P-14) that petitioners are not claiming arrears of salary and they are seeking only notional promotion with retrospective effect i.e. from 30.9.1997 for the purposes of ACP grade only, because the cases of promotion of the petitioners could not be finalised by the competent authority in the absence of any final seniority list of the employees working in both Hisar as well as Fatehabad Districts.
