THE HON’BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 14907 of 2007 O R D E R: (Per the Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) This writ petition is filed against the order dated 5.9.2006 passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A. No. 902 of 2005. By the impugned order, while upholding the order impugned by the respondent – applicant in the O.A., the Tribunal directed the petitioners herein to appoint the applicant to a suitable post in lower category according to her qualifications and eligibility. The contention of the learned Government Pleader for Services-II is that the respondent has not possessed the qualifications as required even though sufficient time was granted and therefore the Tribunal ought not to have directed the petitioners to appoint the respondent – applicant in a suitable post. Having perused the material available on record including the order passed by the Tribunal, we are satisfied that the Tribunal has gone into the merits of the matter and having regard to the fact that the respondent has got appointment on compassionate grounds and worked for a considerable period of time but not possessed the requisite qualifications, rightly directed the petitioners herein to appoint the respondent – applicant in a suitable post in lower category. Therefore, we are not inclined to interfere with the said order passed by the Tribunal. However, as the time granted by the Tribunal has elapsed, we extend the time to comply the order dated 5.9.2006 passed by the Tribunal by another four weeks from today. T. MEENA KUMARI, J. G. CHANDRAIAH, J. Date: 13-07-2007. MVB.
