HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZUL PURKAR W.P.No. 20378 OF 2009 O R D E R: (Hon’ble Sri Justice Vilas V. Afzul Purkar) The petitioner herein is the applicant in O.A. No. 4337 of 2009 before the A.P. Administrative Tribunal. The main grievance of the petitioner, which is the subject matter of the O.A., was that while she was promoted as Associate Professor of Radiology, counselling as required under G.O.Ms.No. 273 HM & FW (C2) Department, dated 21.05.1999, was not conducted. The petitioner claims that there are vacancies available in the hospitals attached to Osmania and Gandhi Hospitals at Hyderabad and that the Principal, Osmania Medical College has already addressed a letter dated 26.02.2009 that there is a shortage of Radiologists in various hospitals under Osmania Medical College at Hyderabad and requested deputation of the petitioner herein from KMC., Kurnool to Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad. The petitioner further states that the Principal, KMC, Kurnool has also forwarded the representation of the petitioner with an endorsement dated 27.02.2009. The petitioner’s grievance is that no orders are passed on the said representation and therefore, she approached the A.P. Administrative Tribunal seeking a relief that transfer to KMC., Kurnool, without conducting counseling is contrary to G.O.Ms.No. 273, dated 21.05.1999 referred to above. By way of an interim relief, she sought for consideration of her case for the post of Associate Professor in the existing vacancies in the hospitals attached to Osmania and Gandhi Medical Colleges, Hyderabad. Earlier, the A.P. Administrative Tribunal has granted an interim order in M.A.No. 2098 of 2009 dated 13.07.2009. The same was questioned by the 3rd respondent in the O.A. before this Court in W.P.No. 14521 of 2009. The said Writ Petition was allowed by an order of this Court, dated 28.07.2009 and the A.P. Administrative Tribunal was requested to re-consider the M.A., after hearing both the sides and pass appropriate orders thereon. Thereafter, the Tribunal heard the said M.A. and was of the view that in view of relaxation of the ban on transfers for a limited period i.e. from 17.06.2009 to 16.07.2009, vide G.O.Ms. No. 169, Finance (W&M) Department, dated 17.06.2009, the relief sought for in the M.A. has become infructuous and accordingly, dismissed the same, through the impugned order, dated 08.09.2009. Aggrieved thereby, the present Writ Petition is filed. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The relief sought for by the petitioner in the aforesaid M.A., to our mind, would have a bearing on the main relief, which is sought for in the O.A. itself and the said interim relief, if granted, nothing survives in the O.A. itself. We are, therefore, of the view that it is desirable that the O.A. itself is heard at an early date and disposed of, as, according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the pleadings in the matter are complete. Since the learned counsel asserts that a post of Associate Professor in Radiology is necessary in the hospitals at Hyderabad and in view of the assertion of the petitioner that the Principal, KMC., Kurnool has recommended her case, we feel it appropriate that the O.A. itself be heard and decided expeditiously. We, therefore, request the A.P. Administrative Tribunal to hear and dispose of the O.A., preferably within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Except to the extent of the above observation, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ------------------------- (V. ESWARAIAH, J) ----------------------------------- (VILAS V.
