Administrative Tribunal seeking to set aside G.O.Ms.No.394, dated 30.12.2004 and G.O.Ms.No.20, dated 23.01.2006 issued by the 1st respondent and for a consequential direction to the respondents herein to continue, absorb and regularize their services in Panchayat Raj Department. The said O.A. was admitted by the Tribunal but no interim directions were granted. Hence, the present writ petition. It is submitted across the Bar by counsel on either side, that the persons who are similarly situated also approached the Tribunal in O.A.No.717 of 2006, wherein the Tribunal passed an order dated 03.02.2006 to maintain status-quo. Therefore, in order to maintain parity, we feel that the respondents be directed to maintain status-quo with reference to the petitioners before us. It is desirable that both the O.As i.e. O.A.Nos.717 and 1105 of 2006 be heard and disposed of together by the Tribunal. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to maintain status-quo in respect of the petitioners and the Tribunal shall dispose of both O.As i.e. O.A.Nos.717 and 1105 of 2006 together. There shall be no order as to costs. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR ------------------------------------------------ JUSTICE M.VENKATESWARA REDDY 23rd MARCH, 2006 PGS
