From the averments contained in the affidavit and the relief sought for it is clear that the petitioners are seeking absorption against posts which are directly under the control of the Social Welfare Department of the Government of Andhra Pradesh. In view of Section 15 of Administrative Tribunals Act 1985 the petitioners cannot directly approach this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India without exhausting the remedy available to them under the provisions of Administrative Tribunals Act 1985. The writ petition is therefore misconceived and accordingly dismissed as not maintainable. Liberty is however given to the petitioners to approach the A.P.Administrative Tribunal if they so desire. As a sequel to the dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.28734 of 1997 is also dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dt:15-03-2007. Mdaa.
