I think its not only merit but also seniority, otherwise you have seen the case of kiran bedi, she deserves in seniority but was not made why ???does not she deserve ????

Why would that question be even asked? We know everything thats natural is driven by merit and not by seniority. The Alfa male in any herd of animals have to give up when a challenger male defeats him. Just because he is senior doesnt mean he would get to be the leader of the herd always. Similarly if promotion is based simply on seniority there will come a time when the top management will be full of senior people who are absolutely incapable of doing justice to the designation they are holding. Merit and only Merit is the true way to decide promotions.
