CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No:11747 OF 2007 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) The present writ petition is filed aggrieved by the order, dated 16.5.2007 in O.A.No.2817 of 2007 on the file of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal. The petitioner is the applicant before the Tribunal. The applicant filed the above O.A., challenging the proceedings in Rc.No.A1/871/2007, dated 11.5.2007 issued by the 1st respondent suspending him on the ground of misuse of compensation money amounting to Rs.40,72,150/- during the years 2002-2003 to 2006- 2007. The Tribunal having observed that the order of suspension is appealable and the petitioner without exhausting the remedies that are available to him, approached the tribunal and therefore, the O.A. is not maintainable, dismissed the O.A. Having aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader. Since the proceedings challenged before the Tribunal are appealable under the Rules, the approach of the applicant directly to the tribunal without exhausting the alternative remedy that is available under the Rules, is a premature one and as such, We have no hesitation to hold that the tribunal is justified in dismissing the O.A. as not maintainable. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice T. Meena Kumari ______________________ Justice G. Chandraiah Date: 8th June, 2007 Nn/Gurc.
