THE HON’BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 17607 of 2007 O R D E R: (Per the Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) This writ petition is filed against the dismissal of M.A. No. 2509 of 2007 in O.A. No. 2310 of 2007 dated 8.8.2007 on the file of A.P. Administrative Tribunal. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Services I appearing for the respondents and perused the material available on record. The petitioner is said to have been working as a Senior Assistant in the office of the Deputy Director, Social Welfare Department, Ranga Reddy District. A case was filed against her on the ground that she has accepted bribe of Rs.1500/- and she has been convicted of the said offence vide judgment dated 12.1.2007 of the Additional Special Judge for SPE and ACB Cases, City Civil Courts, Hyderabad. The petitioner is said to have filed appeal against the said judgment which is pending on the file of this Court. The further averments of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition disclose that it is only on the apprehension that the respondents may pass removal orders that the petitioner filed O.A. before the Tribunal and sought for interim orders to maintain status quo with regard to the stature of the petitioner – applicant and continue the applicant pending disposal of the O.A. But, the Tribunal rightly held that pending the O.A., such direction cannot be granted in view of the APCS (CC&A) Rules. We do not find any error or infirmity in the order passed by the Tribunal dismissing M.A. 2509 of 2007 in O.A. 2310 of 2007. There is no merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. T.
