Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.S.N.SARMA Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR AGRICULTURE The Court made the following: ORAL ORDER (PER GB,J.) The Writ Petition is filed challenging the inaction on the part of the Tribunal in not granting appropriate interim relief. 2. The petitioner challenged the order issued by the Government in G.O.Rt.No.967 Agriculture and Cooperation (VIG.I) Department, dated 11-9-2004. While admitting the O.A., the Tribunal issued notice on interim relief, since neither the interim relief was granted nor was it refused, the present Writ Petition has been filed. 3. We are afraid it is not appropriate for this Court to interfere at this juncture. The petitioner has to await the order of the Tribunal in respect of the interim relief claimed by him. 4. The petitioner however has already been reverted to the lower post. Hence, we find that the matter requires to be expedited by the Tribunal in view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Therefore, we leave it open to the petitioner to make appropriate application for expediting the O.A., if necessary before the Tribunal. 5. With the direction indicated above, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________________ (G. BIKSHAPATHY, J.) Date: 08-12-2004 _________________ (P.S. NARAYANA, J.) ES To 1.
