The grievance of the petitioner is that he is not being given promotion to the post of Assistant Secretary in the Head Oﬃce, as per Special Rules and G.O.Ms.Nos.245 and 246 dated 30-8-2007. When the interim order itself has not been passed, we are not inclined to express any opinion on the merits of the case, especially when the Tribunal is seized of the matter and there is no ﬁnal adjudication on the merits of the case. In the circumstances, we deem it appropriate to direct the Tribunal to dispose of the O.A. on merits , in accordance with law, uninﬂuenced by its observation in the connected OAs, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. 3. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. ___________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. ________________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J. 08-09-2008 Note: Furnish copy by tomorrow.
