THE HON'BLE SMT JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 24458 of 2000 Dated: 26.7.2010 Between: 1. The Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Government of India, New Delhi and others ..... PETITIONERS AND 1. J.C. Goghalia and others. .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SMT JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 24458 of 2000 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri. Justice Gopala Krishna Tamada) This writ petition is directed against the orders dated 13.8.1999 in O.A.No.370 of 1998 made by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad. It may not be necessary for us to go into the facts that are narrated in the affidavit filed in support of the petition and the submissions made by the learned Counsel for the petitioners. The direction given in the impugned order reads as follows: “The applicants if they are eligible for consideration for the post of Junior Scientific Assistant Grade I before the date of issue of appointment order to the private respondents and have been found fit for promotion to the post of Junior Scientific Assistants Grade I in the first instance after the appointment of the private respondents then the applicants should rank senior to the private respondents in the seniority list of Junior Scientific Assistants Grade I.” It is a mere direction to the respondents-authorities to consider for the post of Junior Scientific Assistant Grade I before the date of issue of appointment orders to the private respondents, if the applicants are found eligible. In our considered view, the said direction cannot be said to be arbitrary. Further, the unofficial respondents in the O.A., are not made as parties in the present writ petition filed by the official respondents-petitioners herein. On these grounds, we are of the view that this writ petition cannot be entertained at this length of time. It is not a matter where interference of this Court is warranted. Therefore, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________________ Justice T.
