ORDER1. The petitioner-employees of the Corporation are aggrieved of an order dated 10th of February, 1993, whereby the State Government havedeclined to approve the sale of residential quarters presently in their occupation.

ORDER1. The petitioner has in this writ petition questioned the correctness of an order issued by the respondent purporting to correct what is described as a mistake resulting in denial of promotion and consequent loss of seniority to the 2nd respondent. The rectification of the error and restoration of seniority is under challenge primarily on the ground that with passage of time, the 2nd respondent had lost the right to make any grievance and the Corporation the power to redress the same. Delay in the correction of the mistake was according to the petitioner sufficient for the respondents to accept the settled position and to continue the status quo.
