The respondent is the applicant before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (hereinafter referred to as “the Tribunal”) in O.A.No.3787 of 2006 and the said O.A. was filed seeking a direction to the Director General of Police, Hyderabad to consider his case for accelerated promotion as Deputy Superintendent of Police in terms of G.O.M.S.No.280, Home (Ser-I) Department, dated 17.09.2002 by reckoning the awards, rewards, commendations and his record in the anti-extremist field and antifundamentalist organizations. The Tribunal vide its order dated 16.07.2007 held that the respondent/applicant is entitled to be considered under G.O.Rt.No.280, dated 17.9.2002, and accordingly a direction was issued to the petitioners herein to consider his case for promotion under the said G.O. Aggrieved by the same the writ petition is filed by the Government contending that the Departmental Promotion Committee consisting of 5 Senior IPS Officers evaluated the performance of the respondent herein and rejected his candidature for promotion. But, it is the case of the respondent in the writ petition that his case was not considered and rejected by the Departmental Promotion Committee and no such proceedings are communicated to him. No proceedings relating to the rejection of his candidature for promotion are placed before this Court. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the Tribunal made certain observations in favour of the respondent to consider his case for promotion. We do not see any such observations made in favour of the respondent herein by the Tribunal. But, however we make it clear that it is for the second petitioner-Director General of Police to consider the case of the respondent/applicant for promotion strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of G.O.Rt.No.280 and pass appropriate orders, without being influenced by any of the observations made by the Tribunal in the impugned order. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J _______________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY,J 29th June, 2009. Ivd/Dsr
