All these Writ Petitions can be disposed of by a common order as they arise out of a common order, dated 26.03.2003, passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.As.1898 and 1930 of 2003. 2. The petitioners were initially appointed as Helpers in Andhra Pradesh State Construction Corporation, and subsequently, they were promoted. Consequent, to the closure of A.P. State Construction Corporation, they were posted to work in the State Government in various offices. Finally, when they were asked to take the scale of Helper Grade-II, they filed O.A.Nos.1898 and 1930 of 1996 before the Tribunal. 3. The learned Tribunal, after considering the matter, dismissed the O.As. by an order, dated 26.03.2003, against which the present Writ Petitions have been filed. 4. The scenario is now changed substantially. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after working in various State Government offices, the names of the petitioners were kept in surplus manpower cell, and subsequently, they were posted as attenders in various other Government offices. In view of this, no case survives for consideration. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petitions are closed, as no further orders are necessary consequent on their appointments as attenders in other Government Offices. No costs. 7. However, the orders of the Tribunal are modified to the extent indicated above. _______________________ G. BIKSHAPATHY, J. _____________________ P.S. NARAYANA, J.
