Petition under Article 226 seeking promotion and quashing of draft seniority list.

Analysis:
The petitioner filed a petition seeking directions for promotion to the grade of Assistant General Manager and quashing of a seniority list. The petitioner highlighted the disparity in promotions between them and another employee, respondent No.3, who was promoted to Senior Manager and then Assistant General Manager. The petitioner argued that promotions were not in compliance with the Rules. The petitioner requested respondent No.3's promotion as Deputy General Manager (DGM) based on a concluded DPC. The petitioner's senior counsel sought to withdraw the petition to make a detailed representation to respondent No.1. Respondent No.1's advocate assured that the representation would be decided within three weeks. The court allowed the withdrawal of the petition with the condition that a detailed representation must be made within a week and respondent No.1's decision communicated within a week after that.
