2.The case of the petitioner, as has been culled out from the affidavit filed by the petitioner is that, the petitioner was appointed as Surveillance Worker on 09.08.1963. The said post was re-designated as Surveillance Field Worker. The service of the petitioner in the post of Surveillance Field Worker was regularised from 01.07.1966 and it was re-designated as Basic Health Worker. Thereafter, the petitioner had passed the Sanitary Certificate Course in the month of January 1972. Subsequently, the petitioner had been given promotion to the post of Basic Health Inspector on 04.12.1973, however, for want of vacancy, he was reverted to the post of Basic Health Worker on 19.07.1975.

5.In these track records of service of the petitioner, the grievance of the petitioner appears that though the petitioner's service was regularised as Basic Health Worker from 01.07.1966, some of the juniors of the petitioner, who had also worked as Basic Health Worker, had been given re-designation to the post of Basic Health Inspector with effect from 01.07.1966. It is also the case of the petitioner that when he was working as Multi Purpose Health Supervisor, an integrated seniority list in the post of Multi Purpose Health worker was released by the 1st respondent vide his proceedings dated 09.08.1995. On perusal of the said integrated seniority list, it discloses that the petitioner's seniority had been fixed or has been shown as Sl.No.359, whereas the seniority of one S.Kalaivanan had been shown as Sl.No.806.

13.Further, the counter would state that since the said individual Kalaivanan had approached the Tamil Nadu Administrative Tribunal, by order dated 03.10.1984 in T.A.No.313/89, the Tribunal had directed that the said individual should be promoted/regularised in the post of Surveillance Health Inspector with reference to the persons, who are juniors to him in the admitted seniority list.

14.Only in compliance with the orders and directions given by the Tribunal, the said individual Kalaivanan was promoted to the post of Surveillance Health Inspector, which post had been subsequently re-designated as Basic Health Inspector with effect from 01.11.1967. With regard to the arrears of payment, the same was restricted to 14.06.1972.
