JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S. ASHOK KUMAR WRIT PETITION No : 9715 of 2008 ORDER : (Per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks for a Writ of Certiorari to call for the records relating to O.A. No. 2076 of 2008, dated 18.3.2008 and to set aside the same. He also sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to continue the petitioner as Mandal Agricultural Officer, Kurnool in pursuance of G.O. Ms. No. 323, dated 14.3.2008. The brief facts o the case are that the 1st respondent herein filed O.A. No. 2076 of 2008 before the Tribunal assailing G.O. Ms. No. 323 Agriculture and Cooperation (F.P.I) Department, dated 14.3.2008, whereby and whereunder, the 1st respondent was transferred and posted in place of the 3rd respondent on administrative grounds. The Tribunal, by the order impugned in this writ petition, while admitting the O.A. directed status-quo to be maintained. Aggrieved, the petitioner who is the 3rd respondent in the O.A. filed the present writ petition. Admittedly, the Tribunal by the impugned order only passed an interim order and it did not pass any final orders in the O.A. That apart, the petitioner also filed a vacate petition before the Tribunal seeking vacation of the said interim order dated 18.3.2008 passed by the Tribunal in the O.A. and the same is stated to be still pending. In the circumstances, we do not find any valid ground to entertain this writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. However, it would suffice if a direction is issued to the Tribunal to dispose of the main O.A. itself, namely, O.A. No. 2076 of 2008, as expeditiously as possible, on or before 31.8.2008. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ___________________ T. MEENA KUMARI,J DATE: 30th April, 2008 ___________________ S.
