The 2nd respondent herein is the writ petitioner. Though an opportunity was given by the learned single Judge in the writ petition by setting aside the impugned order to furnish the copies of the recommendations of the committee and also the decision taken by the Government to the writ petitioner, before issuing a fresh notice and seek her explanation and thereafter, take appropriate action according to law, the apprehension of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant is that the writ petitioner is demanding for promotion to the post of the Office Manager from the post of Junior Assistant. As the appellant is apprehending contempt proceedings being moved against them, the present writ appeal is preferred. The learned counsel for the appellant at the time of hearing admitted that there is no direction to the Management to consider any claim of the writ petitioner for promotion to the post of Office Manager. In the absence of any such direction, the apprehension is merely illusory. Further as the writ petition was allowed only for violation of principles of natural justice and in fact, it is stated by the learned counsel for the writ petitioner that the copies of the recommendations were furnished and fresh notice was issued seeking explanation of the writ petitioner. At this stage, no orders are required and there is no grievance by the appellant against the order passed by the learned single Judge. Accordingly, this Writ Appeal is dismissed with costs of Rs.1,000/-(Rupees one thousand only) payable to the A.P.Chief Justice Relief Fund for the purpose of Tsunami Relief Fund. __________________ Justice T.Meena Kumari Date : 01-02-2005 ___________________ Justice S.Ananda Reddy Dvs/Gurc.
