THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD W.P.No.12736 of 2010 ORDER: (Per Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of certiorari assailing the interim order, dated 25.03.2010, passed in V.M.A.No.1777 of 2009 in O.A.No.6611 of 2009 by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Tribunal). 2. The first respondent herein filed the above said O.A. seeking to declare the action of the petitioners in not considering his case for promotion to the post of Administrative Officer on the ground of pendency of disciplinary proceedings against him, as illegal and arbitrary. In the said O.A., the Tribunal passed an interim order on 15.06.2009 directing the petitioners to consider the case of the first respondent for promotion to the post of Administrative Officer in the vacancies, which are arising after 30.06.2009 in Zone-IV in accordance with seniority, suitability, eligibility and rules and without reference to the charge memo, dated 21.03.2003, pending disposal of the O.A. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners filed V.M.A. No.1777 of 2009 seeking to vacate the said interim order and the same was dismissed on 25.03.2010 and the interim orders are made absolute. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. 3. Heard the Learned Government Pleader for Services-II appearing for the petitioners and perused the material on record. 4. Learned Government Pleader for Services-II contended that the petitioners had initiated disciplinary proceedings against the first respondent and that in the inquiry, the charge framed against him was proved and thereafter, the Government vide memo, dated 28.05.2009 has furnished a copy of the Inquiry Report to the first respondent to make a representation within 15 days, but no representation was filed. He further contended that though the name of the first respondent was considered by the Departmental Promotion Committee, he is not eligible for promotion to the post of Administrative Officer in view of pendency of disciplinary proceedings against him and that the Tribunal ought to have vacated the interim order. 5. As per the order impugned, the Tribunal after taking into consideration all the aspects into consideration with regard to pendency of disciplinary proceedings since 2003 against the first respondent and non-serving of the show cause notice to him together with enquiry report, refused to vacate the interim order dated 15.06.2009 and it is for the Tribunal to adjudicate the matter on merits and take a final decision in the O.A. 6. Inasmuch as the O.A. is pending adjudication before the Tribunal, this writ petition is misconceived as it is filed only against an interim order and gave reasons thereof. Therefore, we are not inclined to exercise the certiorari jurisdiction of this Court. 7. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. _____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J ____________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date:08.06.2010. sj
