It is stated that the petitioner is working as a Junior Lecturer in Hindi in P.C.R.Government Junior College, Chittoor since 04.09.2002. While so, the first respondent issued proceedings dated 03.06.2008 transferring her to Government Junior College, Pitchatur, Chittoor District. Questioning the same, she filed O.A.No.3996 of 2008 before the Tribunal and the Tribunal disposed of the same on 11.06.2008 with certain directions granting status quo. Instead of implementing the said order, the third respondent issued proceedings dated 17.07.2008 relieving her from the duties. Challenging the same, she filed another O.A.No.6339 of 2008 and the Tribunal passed orders on 18.08.2008 restoring her in the same place of working. While so, the second respondent issued the impugned proceedings dated 22.08.2008 rejecting the request of the petitioner dated 17.06.2008 and posting her at Government Junior College, Pitchatur. Thereafter, the third respondent issued proceedings in Rc.No.54/A/2008, dated 11.09.2008 directing the petitioner to join duty. Challenging the same, she filed O.A.No.7638 of 2008 and the Tribunal by the impugned order dated 17.09.2008 ordered notice before admission, without granting any interim order. Hence, the present writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the opinion that the Tribunal passed the impugned order issuing notice before admission to the respondents so as to give an opportunity to them for filing counter-affidavit. There is no adjudication or conclusion reached by the Tribunal and in the absence of any determinations of the issues involved in the case, we are not inclined to interdict the proceedings of the Tribunal. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the Tribunal is directed to dispose of O.A.No.7638 of 2008 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. A copy of this order is directed to be marked to the Registrar, Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad. GHULAM MOHAMMED, J JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 05.11.2008 va
