The matters relate to promotion to the posts of Motor Vehicle Inspectors from the posts of Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors. 3. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners that similar identical O.A.s, one among them is O.A.No.5234 of 2004 and batch, are pending relating to the promotion for the years 2003-04 and 2004-05, whereas, these O.As. were dismissed at the admission stage. Therefore, the learned counsel would submit that atleast these O.As. shall be disposed of along with other connected matters to have a uniform decision over all the cases. 4. Inasmuch as, the similar identical cases are pending, we feel it appropriate that these matters should be decided simultaneously so as to avoid conflict of decisions at the later point of time. 5. Under those circumstances, the Writ Petitions are allowed by setting aside the impugned orders and the matters are remitted back to the Tribunal for fresh consideration. The Tribunal shall dispose of all the connected matters relating to promotion from the posts of Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors to the posts of Motor Vehicle Inspectors for the years 2003-04 and 2004-05 within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. _______________ G.BIKSHAPATHY, J ________________ P.S.NARAYANA, J Dated: 30-12-2004 Prv To 1 The Principal Secretary, The Government of Andhra Pradesh, T.R&B Dept., Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 The Transport Commissioner Government of Andhra Pradesh Khairatabad, Hyderabad. 3.
