THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR W.P.No.9186 OF 2010 ORDER : (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This writ petition is filed assailing the legality and validity of the interim order dated 16-04-2010 in O.A.No.2281 of 2010 on the file of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for brevity ‘the Tribunal’), wherein the Tribunal passed the order as follows: “Pending disposal of the O.A., the respondents are permitted to give promotions to the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police depending on the length of service in the cadre of inspector of Police (Civil) without giving any notional seniority. Any promotions made on this basis, shall be subject to the result of the O.A.” 2. The grievance of the petitioners is that they have filed the above O.A. with a prayer to direct the respondents to finalize the seniority lists in the category of Sub Inspectors of Police and inspectors of Police in Guntur Range and to consider their cases for promotion to the post of Deputy Superintendents of police with effect from 11-08-2009 on which date their immediate junior was promoted with all consequential benefits. But however, the Tribunal declining the interim relief prayed by them passed a general interim order. Aggrieved by the same, they approached this Court and filed the present writ petition contending that due to the orders passed by the Tribunal, the rights guaranteed under Article 14 of the Constitution of India are being violated. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Additional Advocate General and the learned Government Pleader for Services-I for the respondents 1 to 3 and the learned counsel for the respondents 4 to 7 and 9 to 13. 4. As seen from the record and after hearing the learned counsel for both the parties, it is clear that the petitioners herein filed O.A.No.2281 of 2010 on the file of the Tribunal and the Tribunal passed the interim orders therein as stated supra. Meanwhile the petitioners aggrieved by the said interim orders, approached this court and filed the present writ petition. When once the matter is seized by the Tribunal, it is for the Tribunal to decide the issue and adjudicate the matter. Therefore, if the writ petition is entertained at this stage, it will lead to multiplicity of proceedings and therefore, to avoid the issuance of parallel proceedings and future conflicts, we are declined to exercise our extra ordinary jurisdiction to grant any direction in the present writ petition. Hence, this writ petition is misconceived and the same is liable to be dismissed. 5. In the result, the writ petition is dismissed. However, the Tribunal is directed to dispose of the O.A. as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of six months from today. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED Dated: 07-06-2011 ________________________ JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR kvr
