Counsel for the Petitioner: GP FOR SERVICES II Counsel for the Respondent No.: The Court made the following : ORDER : (Per Sri Justice V.Eswaraiah) The Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and the Deputy Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, Guntur Division, Guntur, filed this writ petition questioning the interim order dated 27.4.2007 in O.A.No.2425 of 2007 on the file of the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal. The said O.A. was filed by the applicants/respondents herein seeking to regularize their services and to declare their probation by preparing the seniority list in the cadre of Prohibition and Excise Sub Inspectors for Zone-III. The Tribunal while issuing notice before admission returnable in four weeks directed the petitioners herein to consider the case of the applicants/respondents herein for promotion if they are in the zone of consideration by taking their length of service. But, however, any promotions effected will be subject to the final result of the O.A. We are not inclined to express any opinion on the merits of the case and any prejudice is said to have been caused to the petitioners by the aforesaid interim order. However, it is stated that the petitioners have already filed an application on 13.7.2007 to vacate the said interim order dated 27.4.2007. But the same has not been considered and disposed of by the Tribunal. In view of the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in R.Manjula and another v. Principal Secretary to Govt., Reve (Services I) Dept., and another[1], we are not inclined to admit the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the Tribunal is directed to take up the application filed by the petitioners for vacating the said interim order dated 27.4.2007 in O.A.No.2425 of 2007 and dispose of the same after hearing both sides as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, not later than four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. _________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. ____________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J. 13.7.2009 kpr [1] 2002 (3) ALD 648 (DB)
