PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO. 3259 OF 1999 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard both sides The petitioner herein seeks to challenge the interlocutory order dated 8.12.1998 passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal (A.P.A.T), pending O.A.No.8545 of 1998. This Court initially granted interim directions on 17.3.199 to continue the petitioner as part time lecturer and the said order is still subsisting. Now it is represented by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the main O.A. is still pending before the A.P.A.T. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case at this stage, it is suffice to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to pursue the main application before the A.P.A.T. Needless to state that the interim granted by this Court shall continue to remain in force till disposal of the main O.A. by the A.P.A.T. ____________________ B.PRAKASH RAO,J Date: 22-06-2006 ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J asp
