Having considered the sub-regulations (1) and (2) of Regulation 12, in general, and sub-regulation (2) thereof in particular, we find that in fact, sub-regulation (2) controls sub-regulation (1) of Regulation 12. If more than one employee is appointed at the same time, their seniority will be counted on the basis of merit list prepared by the selection committee and not from the date of their joining. A different interpretation of sub-regulations (1) and (2) other than the interpretation made above will make sub-regulation (2) meaningless. Therefore, the authority corrected the mistake by restoring the spirit of the letters of sub-regulation (2) of Regulation 12 by issuing the office order under memo dated 29.05.2006. .....Jibon Bima Corporation & others =VS= Md.
