Earlier, the petitioner filed O.A.No. 39834 of 1991, aggrieved by the memo-dated 28.08.1991, where under it was stated that he was found not suitable for the post of Sub-Inspector. The Tribunal after an elaborate consideration, by order dated 29.4.1992 has allowed the O.A and directed the official respondent to give appointment order to the petitioner and consequently the order dated 28.8.1991 of the second respondent therein, was set aside. Earlier the Tribunal, by its interim order dated 16.9.1991 gave a direction that one post of SI meant for Scheduled Tribe category be kept vacant until further orders and that the respondents were consequently directed to give appointment order to the applicant, according to Rules, in the vacant post. Thereafter, he filed O.A.No. 1827 of 2008, seeking a direction to the respondents to place his name in the seniority list of 1991 batch. Respondents filed counter denying all the allegations and prayed for dismissal of O.A with costs. The petitioner complains that the Administrative Tribunal did not pass any order and against non-grant of interim orders, he filed the present Writ Petition. Since O.A.No. 1827 of 2008 is pending before the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, we do not want to go into the merits of the case. Therefore, we direct the A.P. Administrative Tribunal to dispose of the O.A. No. 1827 of 2008 within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED ,J ___________________________ C.V.RAMULU, J Dt. 27.06.2008 KA Note: Dispatch order copy in three days. .....
