HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR WRIT PETITION NO. 8296 OF 2011 Between: The Transport Commissioner, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and two others ………….Petitioners AND Mohd Ghouse Pasha S/o Late Abdul Nabi and one another ………….Respondents ORDER: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) 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 orders dated 20.12.2010 passed by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad in O.A.No. 8856 of 2010 and quash the same as illegal. The Tribunal while admitting the O.A, passed the following order: “ Learned GP placed before this Tribunal the instructions. The instructions are not convincing, in the sense, the reasons for placing the applicant under suspension are totally different as stated in the Note. Admit. Issue notice to the respondents, returnable in four weeks. Interim Relief: Pending disposal of the O.A., there shall be interim suspension of the impugned Proceedings R.No. 13337/V4 dt: 09.12.2010” The learned Government Pleader for Services II, appearing for the petitioners submits that the Tribunal ought not to have initiated the Contempt proceedings without adjudicating upon the stay vacate petition viz., VMA No. 492 of 2011 in O.A.No. 8856 of 2010, which was filed long back. 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, the Tribunal is directed to dispose of the vacate stay petition viz., V.M.A.No. 492 of 2011, on merits in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from today. Till such time, the Tribunal is directed not to initiate contempt proceedings. There shall be no order as to costs ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _____________________ K.G.
