The petitioners herein filed this writ petition interalia aggrieved against the orders passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No.47293 to 295 of 1991 dated 21-02-1997 wherein the request of the petitioners seeking to direct the respondents to absorb/regularize as Depot Watcher/Maistries was not acceded and ultimately, after going into merits, the tribunal directed the petitioners to file a representation and the same to be considered on merits. Now in the counter-affidavit filed by the respondents, it is submitted that so far no such representation has been filed and hence, the question of consideration does not arise. Having regard to the same, we are of the opinion that as directed by the Tribunal, it is suffice to permit the petitioners to file a representation within four weeks from today and on such representation, the second respondent shall dispose of the same on merits in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks thereafter. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J ___________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J 14th August, 2006 SKM
