THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.28229 OF 2011 Dated:18.10.2011 Between: Smt. V.Shanthamma .. Petitioner And The District Educational Officer, Eluru, West Godavari District and others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.28229 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner herein filed O.A.No.12116 of 2009 before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal seeking a direction to appoint/promote her as a Head Mistress in Eluru Municipal Corporation (the Corporation). The same was disposed of on 28.06.2011 directing the Corporation to consider the case of the petitioner. In obedience thereto, the second respondent passed orders on 30.07.2011 rejecting her case on the ground that another candidate belonging to Scheduled Caste has already been appointed as Head Master and thus the adequacy as contemplated under G.O.Ms.No.2, dated 09.01.2004 is achieved. This order is assailed before this Court without availing the remedy under Section 19 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. As held by seven Judge Bench of the Supreme Court in L.Chandra Kumar v Union of India[1], this Court lacks inherent jurisdiction. It is only after the decision is rendered by the Tribunal an application for judicial review would lie before a Division Bench of this Court. As the petitioner directly filed a writ petition against the order of the Tribunal rejecting her case for promotion to the post of Head Mistress, the writ petition is not maintainable. Liberty is given to the petitioner to approach the Tribunal and seek redressal. The Writ Petition, with the above observation, is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) ____________________ (K.G. SHANKAR, J) 18.10.2011 KH [1] AIR 1997 SC 1125
