ORDER : ARUN MONGA, J. 1. Grievance of the petitioners herein stems out of the seniority list dated 31.07.2023 (Annex.4) issued by the respondents for promotion on the post of UDC/Senior Assistant. They allege that seniority was determined as per the joining date instead of merit, which is not permissible. The petitioners state that they even filed objections but the same were not considered by the respondents. 2. Relevant facts of the case are that on 01.07.2020, a provisional seniority list was prepared as per the merit. However, final seniority list dated 31.07.2023 (Annex.3) has been issued by the respondents as per the joining date of candidates. The petitioners raised objections, which have not been considered by the respondent authorities. Hence this petition. 3. In the aforesaid backdrop, I have heard learned counsel for the respective parties and have perused the case file. 4. It so appears that petitioners herein had indeed submitted their objections to the proposed seniority list. But without passing any orders on the same or without according any opportunity of hearing to the petitioners, final seniority list has been prepared. 5. At this stage, in view of the aforesaid observations made by this Court, learned counsel for the respondents submits that at this stage formal administrative orders will be passed in accordance with law on the pending objections of the petitioners qua the seniority list. 6. In the premise, the writ petition is disposed of with the expectation that the aforesaid administrative order shall be passed as expeditiously as possible. 7. The respondents are at liberty to issue final seniority list subject to the such corrections, if any, after passing of the fresh administrative orders on the pending representation/objection of the petitioners. 8. Petitioners are at liberty to file a supplementary representation in case so advised.
