Dear Experts
I was selected as an officer in haryana govt on 04.04.1996 on the basis of B.Tech degree by Service Selection Board Haryana.There were no marks for experience as per notification issued by above board. Selection was made puerly on the basis of marks in B.Tech and Interview. I was topper in B.Tech.Appointment letter was issued by the department where I was posted . In that letter Deaprtment mnetioned that as per merit list issued by Selection Board Haryana my seniorty no for promotion is 11. At that time I had no knowledge for moving court to challenge the merit list decided by Selection Board Haryana.Now after 20 years , promotions are to done on the merit list as decided by Selection Board Haryana during appointment in 1996.All the 10 cnadidated who have placed from seniorty no 1 to 10 got less marks in B.Tech than me.
My question is that can I challenge now the merit list prepared by Selection Board Haryana in 1996 ?
Kindly advise me so that I may act accordingly.
Regards

Have you got information about marks obtained in interview by each of individual seniors vis-a-vis you at the time of selection. Definitely the merit would have been drawn on the basis of interview, not only on the basis of marks obtained in BTech exam.
Even otherwise also, seniority can be challenged with the concerned organisation within one month of publication of the seniority list. Otherwise that is deemed to have been accepted by the cndidate/ employee. However, you could have approached the court of law only before publication of the second and subsequent list of seniority, not any time after serving for 20 years.
