{As per Hon'ble Mr. B.V. Sudhakar, Member (Admn.)} The OAs are filed challenging the revision of seniority based on the Sl. Circular 107/2012 dt 26.9.2012 issued by the respondents. The issue and the respondents being one and the same a common order is being issued.

2. Brief facts of the case are that the applicants were selected as Dy Station Supdt/ Traffic Apprentice/Commercial Apprentice in the scale of Pay of Rs.5500-9000 and sent for Training. After training they were posted as Station Masters II/TI/Commercial inspectors in PB 9300-34800 with Grade Pay of Rs.4200 in different divisions coming under 2nd respondent. The Respondents issued the seniority list for the said scale of Pay correctly showing the seniority of the applicants. With the implementation of the 6 th pay commission the grades of Rs 5000-8000 and Rs 5500-9000 were merged into PB of Rs 9300-34800 with Grade Pay of Rs 4200. As per Sl. Circular 107/2012 clause (i) and (ii) the seniority of employees who joined between 1.1.2006 and 4.9.2008 would be protected as per the pre-revised scale of pay and clause (iii) states that those who join on or after 5.9.2008 with the merged scale in PB 9300-34800 with Grade Pay of Rs 4200 will be assigned a seniority below those who were in position as on 4.9.2008. Accordingly the seniority was revised and the applicants were placed below those who were drawing lower scale of pay of Rs 5000-8000 prior 6 OAs 516/14 & batch to the merger of scales by the 6th CPC. Hence the grievance and therefore the OAs.
