THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR W.P.NO.15309 OF 2009 ORDER: (Per Sri Justice Vilas V. Afzulpurkar) This writ petition is filed by the applicants in O.A.No.8383 of 2009 pending before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal. This O.A., was filed with the relief as prayed for: "Application filed pryaing this Tribunal to call for the records relating to the Memo No.8396/Services.1/2009-1, dated 3.7.2009, and Memo. No.8396/Ser.I.1/2002,1,dated 14.7.2009 communicated in Rc.No.1240/C3.1 dated 14.7.2009 issued by the Government of A.P., Education Department, and quash the same as they are illegal, unjust, arbitrary, discriminatory and contrary to the rules issued in G.O.Ms.No.10, dated 23.1.2009, contrary to the rules in G.O.Ms.No.15, Education, dated 26.1.2009, contrary to Rule 6 of the A.P.State and Subordinate Service Rules, and also contrary to the instructions issued in G.O.Ms.No.17, dated 26.1.2009 as amended from time to time and consequently hold that the applicants are entitled for promotion to the post of Head Masters Grade.II Gazetted in Guntur District into the existing vacancies". On 23.7.2009, while entertaining the O.A., the Tribunal ordered notice before admission returnable in two weeks. Questioning the said notice, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners has made various submissions touching the very merits of the O.A which is pending before the Tribunal and while drawing our attention to the eligible list of Teachers working in the post of School Assistants for promotion into the category-I Officers of Head Masters Grade-II as well as G.O.Ms.No.10, School Education (Ser.II) Department, dated 23.1.2009, he has vehemently contended that in view of the promotions, which are likely to be affected, it is highly desirable to entertain the writ petition. Before going into the contentions on merits of the case, it is to be noted that on the mere notice before admission petittioners have invoked Certiorary jurisdiction of this Court. An order of notice before admission is nothing but an opportunity to the otherside, so as to hear the matter on both sides and adjudicate the issue affectively. The petitioners, without waiting for the two weeks' time, have directly approached this Court and therefore, their approach itself at this stage of notice before admission, is a premature one. So far as the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioners on the merits of the case are concerned, we are of the view that our opinion, if any, expressed at this stage of the proceedings, may prejudice hearing of the O.A, which is pending before the Tribunal. Therefore, we are, prima facie, of the opinion that the Certiorari jurisdiction sought to be invoked by the petitioners against the impugned order is clearly not sustainable. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioners are at liberty to file an appropriate application seeking interim relief before the Tribunal, if they so desire and in such an event, the Tribunal shall consider the same on its own merits and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible.
