According to the petitioner, the petitioner has made a representation to the second respondent to revise and re-fix the seniority in the Civil Medical list (Dental) dated 27.6.2018 or subsequent seniority list to be drawn by the respondent. Since the said representation was not considered by the second respondent, the petitioner has filed the instant writ petition before this Court.

wherein the Hon''ble Supreme Court directed the respondents to revise an refix the seniority strictly on the basis of merit determined in the selection process and not on the basis of the roster point.
3. The learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice for the respondents.
4. Considering the limited scope of prayer as sought for by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to direct the second respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 4.10.2021 and pass orders by
2/4
