CHANDRAIAH CONTEMPT CASE Nos.1296, 1297 & 1298 of 2009 COMMON ORDER:( Per HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH) These contempt cases have been filed complaining willful disobedience on the part of the official respondents in implementing the directions passed by this Court on 12.08.2009 in WPMP Nos.21376, 21388 and 21394 of 2009 in W.P.Nos.16282, 16294 and 16300 of 2009, respectively, on the ground that though this Court, by the aforesaid orders, granted interim suspension of the show cause notices dated 28.07.2009 issued to the petitioners herein by the 1st respondent- District Educational Officer, the 1st respondent has passed the final orders on 10.08.2009. Since the issue of show cause notices has been merged in the final orders dated 10.08.2009 said to have been passed by the 1st respondent and since the final orders are yet to be challenged before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, we have dismissed the writ petitions themselves with a liberty to the petitioners to question the order of the 1st respondent- District Educational Officer, dated 10.08.2009, before the Tribunal and further directed to maintain status-quo existing as on that day for a period of ten days therefrom. In view of the orders passed in the writ petitions, these contempt cases do not survive. The contempt cases are, accordingly, dismissed. __________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J ____________________ G.
