Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.V.MALLIK Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR SERVICES I The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S. ASHOK KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO :9401 of 2008 ORDER: (per Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) Petitioners filed the present writ petition seeking for a Writ of Mandamus declaring the order passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad passed in O.A. No. 1624 of 2008, dated 26.2.2008 as arbitrary and illegal and to set aside the same. The facts in brief are that the unofficial respondents herein filed O.A. No. 1624 of 2006 before the Tribunal assailing the order of the 3rd respondent dated 19.2.2008 whereunder the 3rd respondent has promoted the petitioners herein as Tracers (now Technical Assistants). The Tribunal, by the order impugned in this writ petition, while admitting the O.A. has granted interim suspension of the proceedings dated 19.2.2008 of the 3rd respondent. Aggrieved, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. Admittedly, the Tribunal by the impugned order dated 26.2.2008 has only granted interim order and it did not pass any final orders in the O.A. If the petitioners are aggrieved by the interim order passed by the Tribunal, they ought to have filed a vacate petition before the Tribunal seeking vacation of the said interim order. Hence, we do not find any valid reason to entertain the present writ petition. The writ petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ T.
