The Court made the following : HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU Writ Petition No.25178 of 2007 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission has filed this writ petition challenging the order dated 20-07-2007 passed in O.A.No.3413 of 2003 on the file of Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal. 2. Admittedly, the first applicant – first respondent in writ petition was working as Senior Assistant with the Commission. The Commission imposed the major penalty of dismissal of the first applicant from service on the ground that he was convicted of a criminal offence. Subsequently he had expired, and his legal representatives filed O.A. challenging the penalty of dismissal from service. Though the first applicant was tried for the offences and convicted, he was ultimately acquitted by this Court in revision and thus, his conviction ceased to exist. Further, the appeal filed before the Supreme Court stood abated. In these circumstances, nothing survives for adjudication in this writ petition. 3. The writ petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. The petitioner – APPSC is directed to implement the orders of the Tribunal forthwith. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. ___________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. 17-06-2008 bsc .....
