The Writ Petition is filed assailing the order passed by A.P. Administrative Tribunal (for short Tribunal) in OA.No.83126 of 1990, dated 7.12.1999. 2. The petitioner was initially appointed as Watchman on 2.7.1987. However, he was terminated from service on 3.2.1988. Aggrieved by the said termination, he raised civil proceedings and the civil Court dismissed the suit filed by him and thereafter he approached the Tribunal seeking appropriate directions, but the Tribunal also dismissed the OA filed by him. Aggrieved by the said order, he filed the present Writ Petition. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that similarly situate persons, as that of the writ petitioner, were considered and appropriate relief was granted and they were taken into service as per the directions of the Tribunal, but in the instant case the Tribunal did not grant any relief and therefore he prays that his case shall be considered on par with the other similarly situate persons. 4. Having heard the learned counsel for both sides, we are inclined to set aside the order passed by the Tribunal. 5. Accordingly the Writ Petition is disposed of and the order of the Tribunal is set aside and the matter is remitted back to the Tribunal for fresh consideration keeping in view the order passed in respect of similarly situate persons. The Tribunal shall dispose of the matter within a period of six (06) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. -------------------------- (G.BIKSHAPATHY, J.) 29th April, 2005. -------------------------- (P.S.NARAYANA, J.) SSR .....
