Administrative Tribunal, dated 23.06.2008 in O.A.No.2652 of 2008 and to declare the same as illegal and arbitrary. Petitioner was working as Assistant Commissioner of Police. While he was working at Asif Nagar Division, Hyderabad, he was placed under suspension by the 2nd respondent, by proceedings dated 03.12.2007, consequent upon his arrest in a trap case, being Crime No.40/ACB-CR2/2007. Challenging the said order of suspension, the petitioner ﬁled O.A.No.2652 of 2008 before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal at Hyderabad. The Tribunal, while observing that the petitioner has a statutory remedy dismissed the O.A., and directed the respondents to review the order of suspension, as it was not reviewed. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner ﬁled this writ petition, contending, inter alia, that as the order of suspension, dated 03.12.2007, is not reviewed, he is entitled to be reinstated. However, when this matter is taken up for admission today, learned Government Pleader for Services-I, appearing on behalf of the respondents, submitted that the order of suspension of the petitioner was reviewed and the period of suspension was extended for further six months with eﬀect from 25.05.2008. The learned Government Pleader also produced a copy of the proceedings of the 2nd respondent, dated 20.06.2008, in C.No.550/02/2007, to that effect. Having regard to the fact that the order of suspension was reviewed and the petitioner has a statutory remedy, we are not inclined to grant the relief sought by the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ (Justice Ghulam Mohammed) _________________ (Justice C.V.Ramulu) 30th July 2008. sh
