S. ABDUL JABBAR KHAN (CHAIRMAN).--The appellant has filed this appeal under section 4 of the Punjab Service Tribunals Act 1974, in which he has impleaded respondents Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 as mentioned above.
2. By virtue of this appeal he has prayed that the respondents be directed to finalize his seniority and issue formal promotion order of the appellant in Grade-18 for which he has already been cleared by the local counsel board.
3. We have heard the appellant's counsel as well as the learned District Attorney assisted by the representative of the department and have examined the record carefully.
4. The learned counsel for the appellant has made grievance that appellant who had entered into local counsel service earlier than the respondents, would be entitled to be senior against them, therefore, the impugned seniority list be corrected. He has also made a grievance that injustice has been done in the case of appellant by promoting his junior despite his representation. The crux' of the case is that the appellant has claimed his seniority but the fact remains that no final seniority list has so far been issued by the department. A seniority list of 1982, which would be tentative list of all the regions, has only been so far published. But, this being a tentative seniority list a large number of objections have been received by the Department against the same. The situation, has neither been denied by the appellant nor respondents. This being the situation respondent No. 1 is directed to issue the final seniority list. For this we give him the period of three months (i.e. By 14-3- 19841 so as to finalize the said seniority due to which a frustration has arisen amongst the civil servants. The case is disposed of accordingly.
There will be no orders as to costs.
