I other 900 candidates were selected for the post of Jr. Asstt. (LDC) by State Govt. for appointment in different Directorates (Dte.) of the State in 1988. Subsequently all were distributed in different Dte. Few of them joined in their services but few Dte. were opposed to appoint the other candidates and send back their name to selection authority. The case came to the floor of Gauhati High Court. After 6-7 years, High Court directed to appoint few of them in Emp & CT Dte. These new appointees were now claiming seniority with the others who were selected later but joined before them. In the judgement of their appointment, High Court silent on retrospective of their appointment.
Now I would like to know whether the petitioner will get seniority than the appointees who were selected later but joined earlier than them.

if high oucrt judgement is silent about the seniority then nomal rule will operate. They will get senioirty as per original merit list. The delay in joining is not attributable to them
