II TP MPUPS, Uppedu, Venkatapuram Mandal and two others Respondents ORAL ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Seeking to quash the order dated 28.9.2005 made in O.A. No. 5708 of 2005 by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, whereby the respondents herein were ordered to be continued in service as Grade – II Telugu Pandits, by suspending the proceedings RC No. 3443/B5/DSC-02/04 dated 13.9.2005 issued by the first petitioner and the consequential order of the 2nd petitioner in Proceedings RC No. C/489/2005 dated 19.9.2005, dated 19.9.2005, this writ petition is filed. The only grievance in this writ petition is that even though the petitioners herein have filed counter along with the vacate stay petition in VMA No. 11091 of 2005 as against the interim orders granted by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, dated 28.9.2005, the same was not disposed of and the applicants – respondents herein have filed Contempt Application CA No. 271 of 2005 and since the Tribunal, without disposing the VMA is proceeding with the C.A., the present writ petition is filed. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the arguments advanced by the learned Government Pleader for Services – I, this writ petition is disposed of directing the A. P. Administrative Tribunal, to dispose of the VMA No. 11081 of 2005 in OA No. 5708 of 2005, before taking up the contempt case. _______________ B.Prakash Rao, J. ____________________ Ramesh Ranganathan, J.
