At the hearing, Sri S.V.Muni Reddy and Sri P.Vinayaka Swamy, learned counsel appearing for respective parties submitted that subsequent to filing of this writ petition, the A.P.S.R.T.C. filed MACMA (SR) No.18069 of 2006 questioning the award dated 05-07-2005 of the Tribunal and the Insurance Company also filed a C.M.A against the said award. It is also submitted that the petitioner filed cross objections. Both the learned counsel agreed that the issue raised in this writ petition is also raised in the said batch of CMAs. Sri P.Vinayaka Swamy further submitted that in the CMA filed by the Corporation, this Court granted interim suspension and that even in the CMA filed by the Insurance Company conditional interim stay was granted. He, therefore, says that there is no threat of recovery of the compensation amount from the petitioner till the disposal of the CMAs. Having regard to the statements of the learned counsel and in view of the fact that the issue raised in this writ petition is also an issue, which is substantially arising in MACMA (SR) No.18069 of 2006 and batch, this writ petition does not survive for consideration. The petitioner is free to pursue the stand taken by him in this writ petition in the aforementioned CMAs and work out his remedies accordingly. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date: 08-08-2007 KLP
