THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHAKAR WRIT PETITION No.18537 of 2011 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This Writ Petition is filed by the petitioners questioning the order of the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad in O.A.No.3481 of 2011 with VMA.No.915 of 2011, dated 28.06.2011. The petitioners state that they were appointed as Commercial Tax Officers by way of direct recruitment. An integrated seniority list, in the cadre of Commercial Tax Officers, was published in the gazette on 12.01.2005. A gazette notification dated 31.03.2010 was issued calling for objections. The grievance of the petitioners is that, despite the unofficial respondents failed to submit their objections by 30.09.2010 (which is the last date for submission of objections), they approached the Tribunal by filing O.A. seeking a direction to the official respondents to finalise the provisional seniority list in the category of Commercial Tax Officers by duly fixing inter se seniority of 1997 direct recruitment strictly as per merit, whereunder the Tribunal directed to consider the representation of the unofficial respondents dated 05.03.2011, and pass appropriate orders, keeping in view the law governing fixation of inter se seniority among the direct recruits. Sri P.V.Ramana, learned Counsel for the petitioners, submits that since the last date for submission of objections, regarding fixation of inter se seniority among the direct recruits expired on 30.09.2010, the question of submitting objections by the unofficial respondents subsequent thereto and the Tribunal directing to consider the objections thereof is arbitrary. Heard the learned Government Pleader for Services-II. Having heard the learned counsel, we do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order. However, ends of justice would be met, if the official respondents are directed to consider the objections of the unofficial respondents, uninfluenced by any of the observations made by the Tribunal in the impugned order in the O.A. With the above observations, the Writ Petition disposed of. No order as to costs. GHULAM MOHAMMED,J K.G.SHAKAR,J Dt:04.07.2011 Note:Furnish copy within two days. bo usd
