Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.P.VEERA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR AGRICULTURE The Court made the following : HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU Writ Petition No.16620 of 2008 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This writ petition is directed against the order dated 23-7-2008 in O.A.No.5414 of 2008 on the ﬁle of Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad. 2. There is no necessity of going into all the details. Suffice to state, the petitioners herein have ﬁled O.A. contending that the oﬃcial respondents cannot appoint any candidate as Assistant Director of Agriculture by direct recruitment as the same had been abolished. We have perused the impugned order, wherein the Tribunal observed that unoﬃcial respondents No.4 to 6 have already been oﬃciating as Assistant Directors and the balance of convenience does not require passing of any interim order. Thus, there is no ﬁnal decision or conclusion reached with regard to the issue involved in O.A. When the Tribunal is already seized of the matter, we are not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition is liable to be and is accordingly dismissed. 3. However, having regard to the nature of the issue involved in O.A. and the rights of the parties, we deem it appropriate to direct the Tribunal to consider the request of petitioners seeking interim relief on merits, pending disposal of OA, after giving opportunity to both the sides, and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from today. ___________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. ___________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. 31-07-2008 Note: Furnish copy in two days.
