Respondents. THE HON’BLE SMT.JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.LAKSHMANA REDDY WRIT PETITION Nos.16369, 15669 OF 2005 AND WP(Sr.)Nos.84815, 84832, 84837, 81648, 81784, 84793 AND 84843 OF 2005 COMMON ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Smt.Justice T.Meena Kumari) These writ petitions have been filed by the petitioners challenging the action of the respondents in reverting them from their respective posts to the lower cadre. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Medical and Health. It is contended by the learned Government Pleader for Medical and Health that the petitioners ought to have availed their remedies before the A.P. Administrative Tribunal and therefore, these writ petitions are not maintainable. It is an admitted fact that the petitioners have not approached the Tribunal challenging the Orders impugned herein. In that view of the matter, there is some force in the contention raised by the learned Government Pleader for Medical and Health that the petitioners cannot approach this Court directly. Under the circumstances, the leave sought by some of the petitioners to file Writ Petitions is refused. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, we deem it appropriate to grant leave to the petitioners to approach the Tribunal within a period of two (2) weeks from today. There shall be an interim suspension of the operation of the Orders impugned herein till the date of filing of the O.As. However, it is made clear that the petitioners can seek appropriate interim relief before the Tribunal, if they so desire. Subject to the above observations, these Writ Petitions are disposed of.
