The tribunal having found the order as only administrative in nature and that it was not issued as a punitive measures, dismissed the O.A. filed by the petitioner. Against the said order, the present Writ Petition has been filed. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, we are not persuaded to admit the Writ Petition. However, the learned counsel makes out a point that he has already made a representation on 4-8-2004 to the second respondent stating that he is not a Psychiatrist doctor and that he will not be able to discharge his duties effectively in a Mental Hospital. But it is for the authorities to consider and not for this Court. Under those circumstances, the Writ Petition is dismissed with an observation that the representation of the petitioner dated 4-8-2004 shall be considered and disposed of expeditiously. 4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ____________________ (G. BIKSHAPATHY, J.) __________________ (CH.S.R.K. PRASAD, J.) Date: 17-11-2004 ES/KSN To 1. The Registrar, A.P.
