2. In view of the judgment of this Court dated 25-2-1985, the impugned order as contained in Annexure-10 and the cousequent gradation lists of technicians Grade 1 (Annexures-B, C and D) was quashed, whereby respondents 3 to 35 in the said writ petition were placed as senior to the petitioner.

3. The affidavit by the Additional Secretary of the Board was filed in pursuance of the notice issued in the contempt
