- BEFORE -
HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. VIJAY BISHNOI
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KARDAK ETE
13.05.2025
(Vijay Bishnoi, CJ)
These two writ appeals are preferred by the appellants being aggrieved with the judgment
and order passed by the learned Single Judge on 25 th March, 2025 in WP(C) 127/1019 and
WP(C) 95/2019.
The learned Single Judge, vide impugned order, while setting aside the inter-se seniority
issued on 04.09.2015 and 21.06.2018 in relation to the employees involved in these
litigations, has directed to re-fix their inter-se seniority by interspacing the petitioners of the
writ petitions with the appellants herein.
While coming to the above conclusion, the learned Single Judge has relied upon the
decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court rendered in Union of India & Ors. -vs- N.R. Parmar &
Ors., reported in (2012) 13 SCC 340.
The contention of the appellants is that the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme
Court in N.R. Parmar & Ors. (supra) has already been overruled by a Three Judges Bench of
Page No.# 18/18
the Hon'ble Supreme Court rendered in K. Meghachandra Singh & Ors. -vs- Ningam Siro & Ors. ,
reported in (2020) 5 SCC 689.
The learned counsel appearing for the contesting respondents have supported the
impugned judgment and have submitted that the learned Single Judge has not committed
any illegality in setting aside the notifications dated 04.09.2015 and 21.06.2018 and has
rightly directed the respondent State to re-fix the inter-se seniority of the writ petitioners by
interspacing them with the appellants.
It is contended that since the recruitment process for inducting the private respondents
as promotees started in the year 2010 itself, as per the settled law, their seniority is to be
reckoned from that date only.
Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and after going through the material
available on record, we are of the view that the matter requires consideration.
Hence, admit.
Since Ms. M. Bhattacharya, learned Additional, AG, Mizoram has put in appearance on
behalf of the State respondents and Mr. D. Das, learned Senior Counsel has put in
appearance on behalf of the private respondents, no need to issue formal notice to the
respondents.
List these matters in the month of August, 2025.
In the meantime, status quo in respect of seniority of the appellants as well as private
respondents, as exists today, be maintained till final disposal of these writ appeals.
