Sajeev.N vs. Anumol.P.S
Held
The High Court set aside the modified interim order (Ext.P8) and directed the Tribunal to reconsider the matter afresh, including all pending applications to vacate the initial stay (Ext.P2). It further ordered that the Annex.A10 seniority list be kept in abeyance until the Tribunal completes this reconsideration.
Facts
Petitioners challenged interim orders (Ext.P2 and Ext.P8) issued by the Kerala Administrative Tribunal concerning a seniority list (Annex.A10) and promotions within the State Goods and Services Tax Department. Ext.P8 had modified an earlier stay, and petitioners had filed applications to vacate the initial stay.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was the validity and procedural fairness of the interim orders passed by the Kerala Administrative Tribunal regarding a seniority list and promotions, specifically whether all applications for vacating stay were duly considered.
