Rajpura tehsildar8217;s reversion stayed

Earlier, seeking the quashing of an order quot;whereby the petitioner was sought to be reverted to the post of naib tehsildarquot;, Bhardwaj, in his petition, had stated that the action was quot;in contravention of the provisions of the Punjab Tehsildars Class II Service Rules, 1984quot;.

And the order quot;had been passed without any determination of the joint seniority lists of naib tehsildars in all divisions after retention of six junior personsquot;. The counsel had also submitted that the Patiala Commissioner had recommended the petitioner for promotion in May 1996. He had further submitted that in March 1999, a show cause notice was issued to the petitioner quot;seeking to revert the petitioner to naib tehsildarquot;.
