Before going into the merits of the case, it is pertinent to note that the petitioners came up with the present vacate petition 7 years after passing of the interim order. Therefore, We see no bona fides on the part of the vacate stay petitioners in filing the present vacate stay petition. Apart from that, we do not see any sufficient reasons to entertain the present vacate stay petition and consequently, the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the W.V.M.P.654 of 2007 is dismissed. Now, coming to the facts of the case on hand, there is no dispute that the present writ petition is filed on the refusal to grant the interim relief by the tribunal. Since the relief that is sought for in the main and the relief that is sought for in the interlocutory application, is one and the same, the findings, if any in this writ petition may touch the very merits of the main O.A. Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, We feel it a fit case to direct the tribunal to dispose of the O.A. filed by the writ petitioner, within a period of three months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. However, it is made clear that till then, the interim order granted by this Court, shall stand continued and accordingly, W.P.M.P.33268 of 2000, is disposed of. Subject to the above direction, the present writ petition is disposed of. W.P.M.P.33268 of 2000 is disposed of as indicated above while dismissing the vacate stay petition in W.V.M.P.654 of 2007. ____________________ T.MEENA KUMARI,J _________________ S.ANANDA REDDY,J Dated: 04.06.2007 Dsr Note: Communicate the order to the Concerned within one week B/o Dsr
