Challenging the same, Tirunelveli Rural Welfare Officers Association filed an appeal on 5.3.1996 to the Director of Rural Development. Thereafter, the seniority was set aside by order dated 2.8.1996. The District Collector revised the Seniority List vide order dated 18.10.1996 and consequently 22 persons were promoted.
