In all these Writ Petitions, the challenge is made against the interim ex parte orders passed by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal (‘the APAT’ for brevity) in O.As. filed by the contesting respondents herein, ordering interim suspension of the impugned G.O.Ms.No.735 Municipal Administration & Urban Development (A2) Department, dated 05.08.2005 issued by the first respondent. Though several contentions were sought to be urged on merits, the fact remains that the order under challenge is only an interim one apart from being ex parte. Apart from that, the Government did not file any counter affidavit and sought to place reliance on the files concerned. Now, it is represented that the Government filed application for vacating stay subsequent to their filing counter affidavits. That apart, the counter affidavits filed in all the Writ Petitions are now available in the APAT. Hence, it is always open to the petitioners to move the APAT for necessary orders. Accordingly, all the Writ Petitions are disposed of directing the APAT to consider them afresh on merits in the light of the counter affidavits filed by the Government and also the writ petitioners. The learned counsel for the respondents represented that the matter was already adjourned and listed on 30.11.2005. Hence, liberty to both the sides to make a mention before the APAT and the matter shall be disposed of on that day itself after hearing both the sides. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) _____________________ (P.LAKSHMANA REDDY, J) 23rd November 2005 NOTE: Place a copy of order in each bundle.
