The writ petition is filed alleging that the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Tribunal’) has issued only notice, but failed to grant appropriate interim relief. 2 . The matter relates to the disciplinary proceedings being taken against the petitioner. The Tribunal admitted the O.A. and ordered notice in the interim petition. At this stage, the present writ petition has been filed contending that the Tribunal ought to have granted interim stay of departmental proceedings. 3. We have heard the learned Government Pleader for Home. 4. We do not find any grounds to interfere with the matter as the Tribunal has only ordered notice on the interim application and it will be in the fitness of things if the petitioner makes appropriate submissions after notice is served. Thus, we do not find any ground to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _________________ (G.BIKSHAPATHY, J) Dated: 5th July, 2004. _______________________ (B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J) ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER CHV & *ak To 1.The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Kurnool Range, Kurnool. 2.The Superintendent of Police, O/o.District Police Office, Kurnool, Kurnool district. 3.The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Allagadda Sub Division, Kurnool district. 4.Two CCs to the Government Pleader for Home, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (O.U.T). 5.Two CD copies.
