THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD W.P.No.5174 of 2010 ORDER: (Per Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed, J) This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of certiorari to quash the interim order dated 14.10.2009 passed in O.A.No.868 of 2009 by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Tribunal’). 2. The petitioner is working as Assistant Regional Officer at South Western Regional Office, AICTE, Bangalore, on contract basis, from 16.10.2002 and his services were being continued from time to time. The petitioner states that though he has been working more than 12 years uninterruptedly, the respondents are not considering his case for regularisation till today. Hence, he filed O.A.No.868 of 2009,wherein the Tribunal, by the impugned order, declined to grant interim relief in his favour. Aggrieved by the same, he filed the present writ petition. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn the attention of this Court to the order dated 04.10.2005 passed in W.P.(C).Nos.3830 of 2004 and batch, wherein the Delhi High Court, in similar cases, directed the petitioners therein to make further representations to the authorities concerned and on such representations, the authorities shall dispose of the same within the specified period therein. He has further drawn the attention of this Court to the order of status quo granted by the Delhi High Court in W.P.(C).No.2392 of 2008 dated 05.08.2008, which is similar to that of the petitioner and therefore, he prays to grant interim relief as sought for by him. 4. Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, on instructions, submitted that at present, there is a workload in the office of the respondents. 5. Inasmuch as the O.A. is pending adjudication before the Tribunal and as this writ petition is filed only against an interim order, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition at this stage. However, without going into the merits of the matter, we direct the Tribunal to dispose of the O.A., as expeditiously as possible, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the petitioner shall be continued on the same terms and conditions. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J ____________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date:12.03.2010. Note: Issue CC within one week. (Bo) sj
