But this issue is neglected till this date. Even a single line reply is not received to the under signed on this issue after 19th Sept. 2006 Ref no- 22-9/99-PE-I.

As This issue is pending for implementation of Kolkatta & Hyderabad CAT judgment on the seniority issue & decided in favour of SBCO staff.
You are requested to look into the matter as a natural justice & grant Seniority Benefit against their Juniors to SBCO Staff of all Circles as maximum cases are pending since long in all circles after 17.5.2000 order in the issue of Smt.R.Prabhadevi Vs Union Of India & others dtd 8th March 1988 , which is prior issue than implementation of TBOP/BCR to SBCO and in Postal Side not related with SBCO issue.
Hope that you will consider this issue in the interest of the SBCO staff by granting benefit of Seniority to the UDC’s & others.
