THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR W.P.No.14827 of 2011 ORDER(Per Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) The petitioners filed this writ petition challenging the interim order dated 03.08.2010, passed by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Tribunal’) in O.A.No.5157 of 2010, wherein the Tribunal while ordering notice, directed them to consider the case of the first respondent for promotion to the post of Inspector of Police on par with his juniors taking into consideration his eligibility, suitability and seniority and if he comes within the zone of consideration. 2. The first respondent filed counter affidavit stating that the third petitioner has promoted his juniors, who are similarly situated, and therefore, his case has to be considered for promotion as per the order impugned, which was made absolute by virtue of dismissal of the vacate petition filed by the petitioners. 3. Heard the learned Government Pleader for Services-I appearing for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the first respondent. 4. Learned Government Pleader for Services-I appearing for the petitioners submitted that the first respondent along with others had threatened the people at Duvva Village with his service revolver and damaged the wind screen of two lorries, disciplinary enquiry was initiated against him and after completion of disciplinary inquiry, he was imposed with a punishment of RTSP for a period of two years by two stages with effect on future increments and pension. He contended that the appeal and the revision filed by him were rejected. He also contended that as the punishment is in force, the first respondent is not entitled to promotion and the Tribunal ought not to have directed the petitioners for consideration of his promotion and dismissed the vacate petition filed by them. 5. Inasmuch as the O.A. is pending before the Tribunal and the right of the first respondent for promotion is involved therein, at this stage, it is not desirable to entertain this writ petition. Therefore, without going into the merits of the matter, we deem it appropriate to direct the Tribunal to dispose of the O.A. within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the order impugned shall not be given effect to. 6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________ K.G.SHANKAR, J Date:30.06.2011 sj
