Administrative Tribunal. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.P.V.KRISHNAIAH Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR SERVICES I The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Smt. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH W.P. No. 7810 of 2008 O R D E R: (Per THE HON’BLE Smt. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI) This writ petition is filed against the non- disposal of M.A. No. 594 of 2007 in O.A. No. 110 of 2007 on the file of A.P. Administrative Tribunal. Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. The petitioner herein filed O.A. 110 of 2007 before the Tribunal seeking to declare the Proceedings Rc.No. 1431/A4/2003 dated 20.1.2006 issued by the 1st respondent as illegal and arbitrary and consequently to direct the case of the petitioner for appointment against the left over vacancies reserved for physically handicapped candidates in the cadre of School Assistants, Biology for DSC 2003 in Chittoor District with effect from the date of appointment of last candidate. The Tribunal seems to have admitted the said O.A. and passed interim orders directing the respondents to reserve one post of School Assistant (Biology) in the left over vacancies earmarked for Physically Handicapped persons. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite issuing notices the respondents have not filed counter before the Tribunal and the post which was reserved basing on the directions of the Tribunal was not given to him and in those circumstances he filed M.A. No. 594 of 2007 seeking a direction to consider his case for appointment against the vacancy reserved, but the same is not considered and no orders have yet been passed by the Tribunal. As could be seen from the material available on record, the grievance of the petitioner is against non- disposal of M.A.594 of 2007 in O.A. No. 594 of 2007 by the Tribunal. The petitioner, instead of filing writ petition, ought to have availed the alternative remedies available to him under law for the said purpose. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, we do not find any reason to entertain this writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedies available to him under law. T. MEENA KUMARI, J. G. CHANDRAIAH, J. Date: 10-04-2008. MVB.
