Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.C.SRINIVASA BABA Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR SERVICES I The Court made the following: ORAL ORDER:- (PER GB,J.) The Writ Petition is filed against the order, dated 29.03.2005, passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in M.A.No.688 of 2005 in O.A.No.6314 of 2004. 2. The petitioner filed O.A.No.6314 of 2004 and the same was pending before the Tribunal. In the meanwhile, he also filed M.A.No.688 of 2005 and the Tribunal directed to post the matter after two weeks by order, dated 29.03.2005. Against the said order, the present Writ Petition has been filed. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Tribunal ought to have passed the orders allotting slot No.8 in the review panel prepared in G.O.Ms.No.121, TR&B, dated 30.08.2004, taking into consideration, the clause (b) of Para No.12 of G.O.Ms.No.2, Social Welfare (SW.ROR.1) Department, dated 09.01.2004, and therefore, he seeks appropriate directions. 4. We are afraid we cannot accept this contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner. 5. Since the matter is already pending in the Tribunal, it is for the Tribunal to dispose of the same as early as possible. Under those circumstances, we are not inclined to interfere with the matter and direct the Tribunal to dispose of the O.A. as well as the M.A. within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. With the direction indicated above, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. 7. However, it is made clear that if Slot No.8 in the review panel prepared in G.O.Ms.No.121 is not filled up, it shall be kept vacant until disposal of the O.A. _____________________ G.
