The plaintiff has also sought consequential relief of appointment as member of PCS (Executive) along with seniority with effect from 7.11.1994 or with effect from such other date when other selected candidates were appointed.

(3.) WHILE admitting the present revision petition, this Court on 23.1.2004, passed an order permitting the plaintiff to move an application for inspection of the record.
