Khatu : Ranked at S.No. 1. Rajkishore Patel : Ranked at S.No. 2. Hrishikesh M. Salunke : Ranked at S.No. 3. Vijay Gupta : Ranked at S.No. 4.

The seniority list serves several practical and institutional functions:

Under the IRSS cadre rules, 50% of vacancies are filled by direct recruitment (UPSC ESE) and 50% by promotion from the cadre of Section Engineers (JEs). For years, disputes arose because promoted officers often had longer railway experience but lower rank in the LDCE. The Supreme Court in the R.K. Sabharwal vs. Union of India case laid down that inter-se seniority between direct recruits and promotees should be based on the rotation of quotas – a complex formula that often delays finalization.
