PETITIONER(S) AND Shaik Dastagiri S/o.Abdullah H.No.10/362-2, Ravindranagar Colony, Kadapa District. .....RESPONDENT Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to to issue an appropriate writ or direction more particularly one in the nature of "Writ of Certiorari" calling for the records relating to and connected with orders in M.A.No.3375/2006, dated 10.8.2007 in O.A.No.8471/2001 and to quash the same by holding the same as erroneous and contrary to law and pass such order or further orders. Counsel for the Petitioner:GP FOR SERVICES I Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.P.V.RAMANA The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.22228 of 2007 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This writ petition is filed seeking Certiorari to call for the records relating to and connected with orders made in M.A.No.3375 of 2006 in O.A.No.8471 of 2001 dated 10.8.2007 and quash the same. It seems that the respondent-sole applicant filed O.A.No.8471 of 2001 seeking a direction to the official respondents therein to grant notional promotion and seniority in the category of Deputy Range Officer and in the category of Forest Range Officer over and above the unofficial respondents therein with all consequential benefits. After hearing both parties, the Tribunal while disposing of the O.A. vide its order dated 5.7.2004 gave a direction to the official respondents that the applicant should be given notional seniority over and above his immediate juniors in the cadre of Deputy Rangers and on that basis, his seniority be reckoned for the purpose of further promotion as Forest Ranger. Notional benefits should be given on the basis of fixation of seniority prior to the filing of petition and monetary benefits subsequent to filing of petition. Since the orders of the Tribunal dated 5.7.2004 have not been complied in spite of several representations of the applicant, applicant filed the present M.A.No.3375 of 2006 seeking to implement orders passed by the Tribunal in O.A.No.8471 of 2001 dated 5.7.2004. After a detailed consideration of the matter and on hearing both the parties, the Tribunal passed orders in M.A.No.3375 of 2006 on 10.8.2007 directing the official respondents in the O.A. to strictly implement the orders passed in the O.A. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. Having heard the learned Government Pleader appearing for petitioners and the learned counsel appearing for respondent- applicant and perused the impugned order and other material made available on record. It is not in dispute that the order passed by the Tribunal in O.A.No.8471 of 2001 dated 5.7.2004 has not been challenged by way of writ petition and the same had attained finality. The errors, if any, in the said order as pointed out by the learned Government Pleader appearing for petitioners cannot be corrected in this writ petition as the said order is not under challenge. To implement the said order, applicant filed the present M.A.No.3375 of 2006 and the Tribunal passed the impugned order. Further, it is to be seen that the O.A. was disposed of in the year 2004 and after waiting for two long years, applicant filed the present M.A. to implement the orders passed in the O.A. The Tribunal while allowing the M.A. vide impugned order dated 10.8.2007, observed as under: “The second respondent cannot think, that he can, much less, be allowed to sit in judgment over the orders of this Tribunal, which became final, long back, much less to correct the same in any manner, whatsoever, even remotely. The second respondent cannot arrogate or allowed to arrogated to himself, the authority or power not vested under law, or the rules, except taking the risk and exposing himself to the punishment under the relevant provisions of the foregoing enactments.” We do not find any infirmities in the impugned order passed by the Tribunal. The impugned order does not call for any interference by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 19.6.2008 DA THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.22228 of 2007 (Order of the Bench delivered by Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) 19.6.2008
