HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKER W.P. Nos. 17773 and 17902 of 2011 DATED: 28.06.2011 W.P. No. 17773 of 2011 Between: Dr. B.Ravi Babu .. Petitioner And The State of A.P. rep. by the Principal Secretary to Government and three others .. Respondents W.P. No. 17902 of 2011 Between: Dr.G.V. Prakash .. Petitioner And Dr. Deena Dayal Bung and three others .. Respondents COMMON ORDER:- (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) Inasmuch as these two writ petitions are filed seeking to quash the order dated 14.06.2011 passed in O.A.Nos.4503 and 4756 of 2011 by the Andhra Pradesh Tribunal, Hyderabad and the issue involved in these matters is one and the same, the cases are taken up together for disposal by this common order. One Dr.S. Srinivas Reddy, who is working as Associate Professor of Orthopedics, filed O.A. No.4503 of 2011 and similarly, one Dr.Deen Dayal Bung, who is working as Associate Professor of General Surgery, filed O.A. No.4756 of 2011, and the Andhra Pradesh Tribunal Hyderabad, by order dated 14.06.2011, disposed of both the applications with certain directions. However, one Dr.B.Ravi Babu, and Dr.G.V.Prakash, whose cases are similarly situated and not parties to the applications, have filed the present writ petitions challenging the O.As. respectively. It is further asserted that their promotions have to be effected on the basis of provisional seniority list dated 07.09.2007. The grievance of the petitioners is that they were not impleaded as parties in the applications, and by virtue of the impugned order dated 14.06.2011, their rights are being affected as regards promotion and consequential postings. The learned counsel for the petitioners have contended that the Tribunal, without inviting any counter from the official respondents and even without impleading the writ petitioners as parties to the proceedings, disposed of the O.As. directing the respondents therein to take steps for promotion to the posts of Professor of Orthopedics and General Surgery by convening a D.P.C. as per the proposal sent by the Director of Medical Education, Hyderabad through the letter dated.22.01.2011. It is further contended that promotions to the posts of Professors of Orthopedics and General Surgery are to be effected as per the statutory provisional seniority list dated 07.09.2007. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the material placed on record. Having regard to the fact that the cases of the writ petitioners are similarly situated with the petitioners in the applications, and that the petitioners are not made parties to the proceedings in O.As. and in view of the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners that by virtue of the order passed by the Tribunal, the rights of the petitioners are being effected in the matter of promotions and consequential postings, we are of the opinion that the order of the Tribunal is liable to set aside for fresh consideration and disposal . Accordingly, these writ petitions are allowed and the order dated 14.06.2011 passed in O.A.Nos.4503 and 4756 of 2001 is set aside and the matter is remanded to the Tribunal. The petitioner in W.P. No.17773 of 2011 is ordered to be impleaded as party in O.A.No.4503 of 2011 and the petitioner in W.P. No.17902 of 2011 is ordered to be impleaded as party in O.A. No. 4756 of 2011. The Tribunal is directed to dispose of the two applications on merits, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two weeks from today, after affording reasonable opportunity to the writ petitioners to put forth their version. The interim stay granted by this Court in W.P. No.17902 of 2011 by order dated 24.06.2011, shall stand vacated. No order as to costs. _____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J 28.06.2011 ________________ K.G. SHANKAR, J bcj
