Counsel for the Petitioner:GP FOR SERVICES I Counsel for the Respondent No.: . The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI. JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO :8900 of 2008 ORDER: (Per the Honourable Smt. Justice T.Meena Kumari) This writ petition is filed seeking to set aside the order, dated 14.12.2007 passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No.7694 of 2007. The respondent herein is the applicant before the tribunal and he filed the above O.A., seeking to declare the proceedings in Ref.No.28057/2007/PXT3, dated 29.11.2007 issued by the 1st respondent therein as arbitrary and illegal and to set aside the same and to issue consequential directions directing the respondents therein to forthwith reinstate him into service with all consequential benefits. He also sought for interim relief to suspend the operation of the impugned proceedings dated 29.11.2007. On 14.12.2007, while admitting the O.A., the tribunal suspended the impugned proceedings. On that, the respondents-authorities filed Vacate stay application, but the same was also dismissed and interim suspension was made absolute. Challenging the interim orders granted on 14.12.2007, the present writ petition has been filed. Heard the learned Government Pleader and perused the material available on record. The order impugned herein is an interlocutory order. The order impugned goes to show that since the facts of the present O.A., are similar to that of W.P.M.P.No.17992 of 2007 in W.P.No.14322/07, the tribunal granted interim suspension in terms thereof. The O.A. is pending before the tribunal. At this stage, the opinion expressed, if any, on the facts of the present case, would become sub judice in view of the fact that the tribunal granted interim suspension in terms of the orders of this Court in WPMP No.17992 of 2007. In this view of the matter, We have no hesitation to hold that the order of the tribunal needs no interference. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, the tribunal is directed to dispose of the O.A., within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. No order as to costs. ______________________ Justice T.Meena Kumari ____________________ Justice G.Chandraiah Dated:23.4.2008 Gurc/nn THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI.
