HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH W.P. No. 19288 of 2011 DATED: 11.07.2011 Between: Sarella Vijaya Kumar .. Petitioner And 1. The Govt. of A.P. 2. The Director of Medical, Health & Family Welfare 3. The Divisional Joint Director of Medical & Health Service 4. The Registrar .. Respondents O R D E R:- (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) The petitioner asserts that he has been working as Multi Purpose Health Extension Officer in Primary Health Centre, Ubalanka of Ravulapalem Mandal, East Godavari District since 20.07.2009. While so, it is stated that the 1st respondent issued a Memo dated 26.02.2011 without specifying the names of any individuals, directing the 2nd respondent to transfer Senior Assistant and Multipurpose Health Extension Officer from their present places and for filing charge sheet against them. Even though the petitioner has not completed three years of service at Ubalanka, the 3rd respondent, based on the Memo dated 26.02.2011, issued proceedings dated 24.05.2011 effecting transfer of the petitioner to Bhimanapalli, East Godavari District on administrative grounds. Challenging the proceedings of the 3rd respondent, the petitioner filed O.A. No.4630 of 2011 before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad along with an application for stay of the proceedings. Now, the petitioner’s grievance is that the Tribunal, except ordering Notice Before Admission, has not passed interim orders. Hence, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the material placed on record. Either to grant or not to grant interim direction or stay of any proceedings is purely the prerogative or discretion of the Tribunal. In the instant case, inasmuch as the Tribunal has neither rendered any decision on the application for stay of the proceedings of the 3rd respondent on merits nor adjudicated the rights of the parties, and the matter is seized by the Tribunal, we are not inclined to go into the merits of the case at this juncture. In the circumstances, we deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad to dispose of the O.A. No.4630 of 2011, expeditiously, preferably, within a period of four weeks from today after affording reasonable opportunity to the respondents therein to put forth their version. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J 11.07.2011 __________________ G. CHANDRAIAH, J bcj
