On the other hand, the learned counsel representing the nonapplicant/petitioner submits that on 31.05.2012, six Junior Scale Stenographers were promoted against the posts of Personal Assistant as a stop gap arrangement for the limited purpose of drawing their salaries only. He further submits that as many as six Junior Scale Stenographers were regularly promoted as Senior Scale Stenographers on 07.06.2013 w.e.f. 10.05.2013 on which date, the petitioner was eligible being the senior most. However, his case was not considered.

Despite granting an opportunity, the learned State counsel has failed to controvert the aforesaid facts. No ground is made out to review the order dated 10.01.2023. Hence, the present review application is dismissed. 6.

The miscellaneous application(s) pending, if any, shall stand disposed of.
