What was the last date of joining of the selected candidates. In case, there exists any last date for joining, the seniority will governed by merit list of the selection for on the basis of joining. If such position exist, you are senior and are entitled for all the benefits as your junior is getting. Thus my advise is make representation to you head of the department. In case, no action is taken, file a writ of mandamus for the same.
