Mr.R.G.Panchal with Mr.A.R.Metkari for the petitioner. Mr.P.P.George i/b. R.R.Shetty for the respondents. .... CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR AND MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,JJ. DATE : APRIL 05, 2011. P.C.: Once again the petitioner has approached this Court for a direction to the Central Administrative Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, for early disposal of Original Application No.864 of 2010. By order dated 17.2.2011, this Court disposed of the earlier Writ Petition filed by the petitioner being Writ Petition No.1338 of 2011 with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Tribunal for appropriate relief. Counsel for the respondents submits that the Original Application is now slated to be heard before the Tribunal on 13.4.2011. Counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that the returnable date before the Tribunal is 25.4.2011. 2 wp2142.11 Besides, the apprehension of the petitioner is that the respondents would drag the matter beyond 30.4.2011 on which date the petitioner would stand retired. Even so, in our opinion, the petitioner can bring this position to the notice of the Tribunal and seek appropriate directions. If the Original Application filed by the petitioner is assigned a date which is not convenient to the petitioner, he is free to move the Tribunal for suitable directions as may be advised. 2. The petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to pursue his remedy before the Tribunal. (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.) (MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,J.)
