HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR WRIT PETITION NO. 5828 OF 2011 Between: Veeravalli Satya Santhamma W/o Late Prakasham aged about 74 years ………….Petitioner AND The Superintending Engineer, Irrigation Circle, Dowlaiswaram , East Godavari District and 12 others ………….Respondents ORDER: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) Heard both sides and at their request the main Writ Petition is taken up for disposal at the stage of admission. This Writ Petition has been filed seeking to issue an order or direction particularly one in the nature of Writ of Certiorari calling for the records relating to and connected with the order dated 23.7.2010 passed in VMA No. 919 of 2010 in O.A.No. 994 of 2009 and quash the same as illegal. The Tribunal while allowing the VMA passed the following order: “Inspite of the matter being listed on several occasions, no representation on behalf of the applicant. Respondent Nos. 8 to 10 have filed vacate application. It is seen that the applicant is 72 years old and she is mother of the deceased employee and mother-in-law of respondent No. 8. According to Rule 50 of the A.P. Revised Pension rules, the wife and Children form part of the family. So prima facie, respondents have made out a case to seek vacation of the interim orders. Accordingly, interim orders are vacated and the VMA is allowed.” When once the Tribunal is seized off 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 certiorari jurisdiction inasmuch as there is no decision rendered by the Tribunal on merits. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, as the age of the applicant is 72 years, the Tribunal is directed to dispose of the matter as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from today. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________________ K.G. SHANKAR, J DATE: 09.03.2011 KA ...
