Administrative Tribunal, dated 29.09.2004. 2. The fourth respondent herein filed the O.A. challenging the order of the State Government in G.O.Rt.No.1057, dated 30.08.2004, by which an earlier order in G.O.Rt.No.1031, dated 27.08.2004 was cancelled. As a consequence of G.O.Rt.No.1057 dated 30.08.2004, the fourth respondent who was posted at Quality Control Sub-division, Srikakulam was reposted to accommodate the writ petitioner who was posted from Tekkali Irrigation to Quality Control Sub- division, Srikakulam. The Tribunal, by the order dated 29.09.2004 suspended the operation of G.O.Rt.No.1057 dated 30.08.2004. 3. The case of the writ petitioner is that pursuant to the orders in G.O.Rt.No.1057, he had already joined at the Quality Control Subdivision of Srikakulam and that the Tribunal was in error in suspending the order in G.O.Rt.No.1057, dated 30.08.2004. 4. The O.A. pending before the Tribunal relates to a transfer dispute between the petitioner and the fourth respondent herein. In exercise of its discretion, the Tribunal has passed an interim order. We find no occasion or justification for interfering with the interim order of the Tribunal. There are no merits in this writ petition. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the admission stage. The Tribunal may consider expeditious disposal of O.A.No.5181 of 2004. _________________ J.CHELAMESWAR, J _________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated 03rd November, 2004. YCR/MRK To 1.
