MD. IQBAL HUSSAIN Vs. HIGH COURT OF MANIPUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This case pertains to seniority in the rank of Junior Administrative Assistant, now known as Judicial Assistant, in the service of the High Court of Manipur.

(2.) Mr. BR Sharma, learned counsel, entered appearance for respondent No. 2; and Mr. Julius Riamei, learned counsel, entered appearance for respondent No. 6. Mr. Kh. Tarunkumar, learned standing counsel, appeared for the High Court of Manipur.

(3.) Ms. L. Sillori, learned counsel for the petitioner, would assert that alteration of the petitioner's seniority was effected without even putting him on notice or giving him an opportunity of hearing. Fairly admitting this fact, Mr. Kh. Tarunkumar, learned standing counsel, would contend that doing so would have only been an exercise in futility.
