HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU Writ Petition No.26064 of 1999 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This writ petition is filed against the order in O.A.No.304 of 1994 dated 08-6-1999 on the file of Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, insofar as it relates to the promotion of respondent No.3. The petitioner herein filed O.A. seeking to set aside the order dated 04- 1-1994 and the Tribunal directed the official respondents to consider the petitioner’s case in any existing or future vacancy in accordance with Rules. It appears, while admitting the writ petition itself, this court refused to pass interim order. At the time of filing of O.A. and writ petition, the petitioner was 56 years and 60 years old, respectively, and now he is aged more than 68 years. In view of the same, we are of the opinion that the order passed by the Tribunal does not suffer from any infirmity calling for interference by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. 17-7-2008 ___________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. bsc bsc HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO : 26064 of 1999 Between: M.Krishna S/o.Ramaswamy R/o.H.No.2-11-234,Vidyaranyapuri Hanamakonda Warangal Dist. .....
