filed through proper channel on 08.04.1993 against the said adverse reports and allegations were levelled against respondent no. 2 for spoiling the Annual Confidential Reports. It was further pleaded that respondent no. 2, vide order dated 30.04.1993, promoted four Assistant Carpenters on ad hoc basis on the post of Carpenters w.e.f. 01.05.1993 and the petitioner was ignored and persons junior to him were promoted. Respondent no. 3 was junior having joined on 17.04.1984 as Helper and promoted as Assistant Carpenter on 07.11.1988 whereas respondent no. 4 had joined as Helper in May, 1985 and promoted as Assistant Carpenter on 07.11.1988. The said persons' names were figuring at Sr. Nos. 7 and 8 in the seniority list. Accordingly, it was alleged that respondent no. 2 had given undue benefit to the said respondents. The said Annual Confidential Reports had been changed for giving undue benefit and there was mala fide intention on the part of respondent no. 2. The reason for not communicating the adverse remarks was not given. The petitioner had filed CWP No. 8294 of 1993 and this Court on 14.02.1994 had directed respondent no. 1 to dispose of the petitioner's representation by passing a reasoned order. Subsequently, order dated 21.05.1994 had been passed by giving valid reasons. The respondents had wrongly taken the ground that due to the fire during the anti-reservation movement, the record had been burnt and how the Annual Confidential Reports for the year 1989-90 onwards had remained in tact. The promotion was to be made on the basis of senioritycum-merit and the petitioner being senior, was eligible for promotion. Accordingly, the writ petition was filed. Reference was also made to the instructions dated 13.04.1972 where integrity of the employee was not found doubtful and he was found entitled for promotion as he had got 50% 'good' or 'average' reports.
