IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W. P. NOs. 18523, 18529 & 22416 OF 2005 Dated : June 5, 2006 Between: D.Satyanand Rao and others Petitioners AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Principal Secretary to Government, Secondary Education, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W. P. NOs. 18523, 18529 & 22416 OF 2005 COMMON ORDER: (per The Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Since all these three writ petitions raise a common question and are interconnected, they were heard together and are being disposed of by this common order, at the request of both the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Advocate General. The grievance of the petitioners in these writ petitions is that the Tribunal has refused to grant interim direction pending disposal of the original applications, filed by them, claiming promotion to the next higher posts, on par with other Government Teachers, while preparing common seniority list while staying further proceedings in terms of GO Ms. No. 95 and 96 dated 25.7.2005. This court, on 12.9.2005, while issuing notice before admission passed interim direction to reserve 20 posts in the next higher category to which the petitioners are eligible. The learned counsel for the petitioners contends that since no interim direction was passed in the Miscellaneous Applications and since it was observed by the Tribunal that any orders passed are subject to the result of the MA/OA, and since the respondents are making promotions and transfers, the interests of the petitioners would be at jeopardy. Having regard to these facts, without delving on the merits, the writ petitions are disposed of, with a direction to the Tribunal to dispose of the Original Applications, as early as possible, not later than four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The interim direction granted by this court on 12.9.2005 and 5.10.2005 (WP No. 22416 of 2005) shall continue till disposal of the Original Applications. No order as to costs. B.PRAKASH RAO, J. RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J. 5th June, 2006 MAS.
