The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep.by its Secretary to Government, I & CAD Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad. And two others. …PETITIONERS AND S.Narayana Naik,S/o.Laxma Naik, Deputy Executive Engineer (Under Suspension), Tungabhadra Projects Sub-Division, Yemmiganur, Kurnool District. …RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO And THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO.18003 of 2006 ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Mr Justice B.Prakash Rao) In this Writ Petition, the only grievance of the petitioners is that even though the interim order was passed on 05.05.2006 in O.A.No.2550 of 2006 on the file of the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (‘the Tribunal’ for brevity) in an application filed under Section 19 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 at the instance of the respondent herein and in spite of the fact that the petitioners have filed a comprehensive counter affidavit in V.M.A.No.1047 of 2006, the same is still pending. Further, the respondent filed Contempt Case in C.C.No.584 of 2006 and the same is sought to be pressed. Having heard the learned Government Pleader for Services II appearing on behalf of the petitioners and on perusal of the material available on record, it is to be noted that since the application seeking vacation of the interim order is pending, we need not go into the merits of the case. It would suffice the interest of justice to direct the Tribunal to take up the vacate stay application in V.M.A.No.1047 of 2006, decide the same and pass orders before taking up the Contempt Case in C.C.No.584 of 2006. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) _______________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) 30th August 2006 RRB
