Mr.M.Surender Rao The Court made the following : O R D E R:(Per G.Bikshapathy, J.) Both the writ petitions can be disposed of by a common order as they arise out of common order passed by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad in O.A Nos. 3319 of 2003 & 3023 of 2003 respectively, dated 18-9-2003. 2 . In view of the order passed in the aforesaid O.As., the petitioners are required to be transferred to Zilla Parishad Schools and the Tribunal also directed the authorities to review the matter and pass appropriate orders. Against the said order, the present writ petitions have been filed. 3. The learned Government Pleader submits that the matter is pending before the Supreme Court. Therefore, it will cause administrative inconvenience. We are not inclined to accept this contention. The Tribunal has disposed of O.As with the following directions:- “It is now pointed that the High Court of Andhra Pradesh in Writ Petition No.11325 of 2000 and batch by its order dated 18-9-2003 has struck down the G.O.Ms.No.538, dated 20-11-1998. The result and the effect of this will be that the applicants who are working as Teaches in Governemnt schools cannot be transferred to Zilla Parishad High Schools. As the basis of these applications is applicants’ apprehension that they are likely to be transferred to Zilla Parsishad High School, there is no need to go into the validity of G.O.Ms.No.46 and also G.O.Ms.No.51 at this stage in as much as in view of striking down of G.O.Ms.No.538, dated 20-11-1998 by the High Court, they cannot be transferred to Zilla Parishad High Schools. It shall be open to the concerned authorities to review the transfer of the applicants taking into the fact that G.O.Ms.No.538, dated 20-11-1998 has been struck down by the High Court. It is obvious that the transfer orders aggrieved by which the applicants approached this Tribunal shall not continue in effect. However, it is open to the concerned authorities to review the question of transfer in the light of the latest development. The OAs are disposed of with these observations. VMAs also stand disposed of. Interim orders passed, are made absolute. In view of these orders, CAs also stand closed. MA is also closed.” 4. We find no ground to interfere with the said order. Accordingly, the Writ Petitions are dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ G.BIKSHAPATHY, J. _______________ P.S.NARAYANA, J. 16th February, 2005. Mrb/Tjs. To 1.
