Disposing of a petition which sought quashing of seniority list of PG Assistants for promotion to the post of higher secondary school headmaster, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday allowed a petitioner to take part in counselling.

The petitioner, J. Jeyatha of Kanniyakumari, had claimed that though she had scored 79.80 marks in the TRB examination she was placed at 791 in the seniority list. She contended that candidates with lower marks than her were placed higher in the list and sought to quash the seniority list.

The government, in its submission, said that with the process initiated, stalling it would create confusion.

With preparation made for the counselling to be held at centres across Tamil Nadu, the court allowed the petitioner to participate in the counselling. Justice R. Suresh Kumar said that the petitioner’s marks be considered for promotion. If a number of persons are given promotion based on the seniority list, all such promotions shall be subject to the outcome of the petition. The order of the copy be displayed on notice boards.
