The Tribunal by its order, dated 14.07.2008, admitted the O.A., and issued notice to the respondents returnable in four weeks, but no interim orders were passed. Aggrieved thereby, the applicant filed the present writ petition. Admittedly, the writ petition is filed complaining that no interim order has been passed by the Tribunal. The Tribunal admitted the O.A., and ordered notice. Thus, the Tribunal is seized of the matter and in the absence of any final decision and in order to avoid parallel proceedings, we are not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed, at the stage of admission. However, the Tribunal is directed to dispose of the O.A., itself on merits and in accordance with law, and in the light of the orders of this Court in W.P.No.6068 of 2004 and batch, dated 09.03.2007, if the facts and circumstances therein are applicable to the case on hand, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
