(3.) THE decree holder, it is admitted was considered for promotion by the Lower Management Service Committee in its meeting held on 06 -01 -1997. But the Committee was of the opinion that he does not qualify for promotion to the cadre of Administrative Office under 1971 Promotional Exercise i.e. the Promotion Policy in force at the relevant time. This conclusion of the committee is based on the seniority position assigned to him on the basis of guidelines for drawing seniority list of officers appearing in the note attached to letter dated 18 -08 -1977, addressed to the Managing Director, General Insurance Company of India, Mumbai. Since his date of appointment as Assistant Branch Secretary in the erstwhile unit of Jupiter Insurance Company was 21 -01 -1971, he was assigned serial No. 414 in the seniority list dated 20 -09 -1977 of Assistant Administrative Officers.
