This Writ Appeal has been filed by the appellant challenging the order passed by the learned single Judge refusing to grant interim order. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the appellant now makes a serious effort to persuade this Court that there is a serious violation of statutory provisions and the rules made thereunder. The learned counsel submits that number of circulars have been issued by the Corporation to the effect that the drivers should not be entrusted with additional duties, which may result in number of accidents. In view of this, the learned Counsel submits that the learned single Judge ought to have granted appropriate interim order, keeping in view the safety of passengers and also the efficiency of the Corporation. 3. After hearing the contentions of the learned counsel for the appellant, we are afraid, we are unable to accept the contentions at this intermediary stage. It is desirable that the matter should be heard expeditiously but it is not a case for interference, at this stage. However, we direct to expedite the hearing of the writ petition. The writ petition shall be posted for final hearing on 02-09-2004. 4. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. No costs. ____________________ Date: 16-07-2004 G.BIKSHAPATHY, J.
