HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR WRIT PETITION NO. 32339 OF 2010 Between: P. Aparna W/o Y. Mahesh Kumar and six others ………….Petitioners AND The Principal Secretary to Government, Health, Medical and Family Welfare and thee others ………….Respondents ORDER: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) Challenging the action of the 4th respondent herein viz., Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad in not granting any interim direction in O.A.No. 8651 of 2010 filed by them, seeking a direction to the respondents not to fill up seven vacancies of posts of Drug Inspectors notified in the Notification No. 15/2008 dated 22.7.2008, the present Writ Petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for APPSC and also perused the material made available on record. When once the Tribunal is seized of the matter and there is no decision rendered on merits, it is not open for this Court to determine the rights of the parties. Hence, we are not inclined to exercise our jurisdiction inasmuch as there is no decision rendered by the Tribunal on merits. The Supreme Court in L. CHANDRA KUMAR VS. UNION OF INDIA[1], also observed as under: “The jurisdiction conferred upon the High Courts under Articles 226/227 and upon the Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution is a part of the inviolable basic structure of our constitution. While this jurisdiction cannot be ousted, other courts and Tribunals may perform a supplemental role in discharging the powers conferred by Articles 226/227 and 32 of the Constitution.” Following the above judgment, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, the Tribunal is directed to dispose of the O.A. viz., O.A.No. 8651 of 2010, as expeditiously as possible. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J ______________________N. RAVI SHANKAR, J DATE: 27.12.2010 KA ...
