The Court made the following common order:-

¶244

In view of the claims of the appellants as well as the respondents, raised in W.A.Nos.346 and 587 of 2024, a Division Bench of this Court.had passed certain orders dated 06.08.2024 disposing of the appeals

¶245

The basic issue before the Division Bench was the delay in finalization of the seniority list of the Motor Vehicle Inspectors and Road Transport Officers. The Division Bench, keeping in view the fact that the seniority list was not being finalized and the promotions to which the Senior Motor Vehicle Inspectors and Administrative Officers would be entitled are getting delayed, had directed that the seniormost persons in both these categories should be promoted, for a period of two (2) months, during which the seniority list was to be finalized.

¶246

Pursuant to the directions of this Court, eleven (11) persons were promoted to the Post of Road Transport Officer and posted to various places in the State, by G.O.Ms.No.33, dated 06.09.2024. 4. The seniority list was also finalized on 12.10.2024. However, the said seniority list came to be challenged before this Court by way of writ petition in W.P.No.26101 of 2024 and a learned Single Judge had suspended the said seniority list. In those circumstances, the persons who have been promoted, by G.O.Ms.No.33, dated 06.09.2024, have approached this Court by way of the present applications seeking continuation of these persons as

¶247

¶248

¶249

list, which has been

¶250

The said.persons have approached this Court, on account^ofthe observations of the Division Bench that the arrangement of the temporary promotions of these applicants would be only for a period of two (2) months. This direction had given by the Division Bench to ensure that the seniority list would be prepared, at the earliest, and the promotions could be made directly, in accordance with such a seniority list, However, on account of the subsequent challenge to the finalized seniority list, a situation could arise where the Posts of R.T.O. would remain vacant, as this would be an arrangement only for a period of two (2) months for the persons, who have occupied the post on the basis of the directions of^thisCourt.

¶251

In such circumstances, it would be appropriate to permit the persons who had been promoted under G O.Ms No.33, dated^06.09.2024 to continue in the said post till the seniority list is finalized and implemented after overcoming the legal hurdles in finalizing such seniority list.
