This rule shall apply to recruitment's both in initial and intermediate grades.(2)In combined seniority list of candidates qualifying in the second attempt, the promotee shall maintain their seniority according to the panel position and direct recruits according to merit position and they shall be placed in the seniority list alternatively as provided in sub-rule (1).(3)Inter-se-seniority of enrolled members especially promoted without their appearing for the normal selection and without undergoing prescribed initial or pre-promotion training for such ranks shall be determined in the order of seniority in their previous ranks. While fixing their seniority vis-a-vis directly recruited enrolled members and promotees, such especially promoted enrolled members shall be placed below all of them including those who passed initial or pre-promotion training at the second attempt.
