Let us assume that A, belonging to the General Category, currently holds Level 3 of a government post.
B, appointed under the Scheduled Caste quota, is junior to A in Level 3.
When promotions to Level 4 are to be decided, let us assume further, that due to reservations in promotions B has to be promoted to Level 4 before A because there are no Scheduled Caste candidates at a seniority similar to that of A.
The question that then arose was whether A would regain seniority over B when she is promoted to Level 4 in due course.
‘Consequential Seniority’ means that Awill not regain her seniority and Bwill now be considered senior to A within Level 4.”
