THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.No.17268 of 2006 ORER: 21.8.2006 Between: The Govt. of A.P. Rep. by its Prl. Secretary, Secretariat, Hyderabad .. Petitioner And Smt. Vijaya Laxmi .. Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.No.17268 of 2006 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard the learned Government Pleader for Services-I and with his consent the writ petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission. This writ petition is filed against the interlocutory order passed by the A.P.A.T dated 28.4.2006 in O.A.2609 of 2006 whereby against the order of transfer of the applicant – respondent, the Tribunal directed maintenance of status quo. The learned Government Pleader would submit that the petitioners filed counter affidavit along with an application VMA 877 of 2006 to vacate the interim order and the same is still pending. However, the respondent has filed contempt application – C.A.542 of 2006 and the Tribunal is proceeding with the contempt application without disposing of the application filed by the petitioners herein to vacate the interim order. Having regard to the fact that the application, to vacate the interim order, filed by the petitioners herein, is still pending, we are of the view that it would be suffice to direct the Tribunal to dispose of VMA No.877 of 2006 filed by the petitioners before taking up the contempt proceedings in C.A.542 of 2006. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________________ B. PRAKASH RAO, J Date: 21-08-2006 ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J asp
