Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.T.P.ACHARYA Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR MEDICAL HEALTH & FAMI.WELFARE The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: (per THE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI) Seeking a writ of certiorari calling for the records relating to the order dated 18.07.2007 passed in C.A. No. 515 of 2006 in O.A.No. 4118 of 2005 by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, and consequently to allow the C.A. No. 515 of 2006 in the above O.A., the petitioners filed this writ petition. The petitioner herein filed the Original Application No. 4118 of 2005 assailing their reversion from the post of Associate Professors to that of the lower post, vide proceedings dated 9.6.2005 and consequently to continue them as Associate Professors. The said O.A. was allowed by order dated 25.4.2006 setting aside the impugned proceedings dated 9.6.2005 declaring that the petitioners herein and other applicants in the said O.A. are qualified to hold the post of Associate Professor, in terms of the Regulations of Medical Council of India. Subsequently, the petitioners herein who are applicants 1 and 4 in OA No. 4118 of 2005, filed CA No. 515 of 2006 before the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, praying to initiate appropriate contempt proceedings against the respondents herein for wilful, deliberate and intentional violation of the orders dated 25.4.2006 in OA No. 4118 of 2005 passed by the Tribunal. The Tribunal, on consideration of the counter filed by the respondents to that effect that the promotions were effected in terms of GO Ms. No.154 dated 4.5.2002 and that they have prepared proposals to issue promotions to the post of Associate Professor for the panel year 2005-2006 basing on the final seniority list and that the names of the petitioners herein have been cleared by the Screening Committee for effecting promotions, closed the C.A. as no further enquiry is necessary. Aggrieved thereby the present writ petition is filed. Evidently, the writ petition is directed against the order dated 10.7.2007 passed in Contempt Application No. 515 of 2006 in O.A. No. 4118 of 2006 passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad. Prima facie, the writ petition itself is not maintainable before this Court. Consequently, the writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. ____________________ T.MEENA KUMARI, J. __________________ G.CHANDRAIAH, J.
