Administrative Tribunal passed in O.A.No.4126 of 2008 dated 26.06.2008 and quash or set aside the same and to hold and declare that the orders issued in G.O.Ms.No.240, Irrigation & CAD(Ser.VIII.A1) Department, dated 03.12.2008 allotting the 1st respondent to Zone-III is legal and in accordance with the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment Order, 1975 and pass such other order or orders. The 1st respondent herein while filing the O.A itself has sought for an interim order to suspend the operation of the orders issued by the respondents 2 and 3 herein in G.O.Ms.No.240, Irrigation & CAD(Ser.VIII.A1) Department, dated 03.12.2008 to the extent of the 1st respondent herein and consequently the Tribunal vide its order dated 26.06.2008 has granted interim relief of suspending the above said G.O until further orders and the same is in force. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents. When once the Tribunal is seized of the matter and there is no decision rendered on merits, it is not open for this Court to determine the rights of the parties. Hence, we are not inclined to exercise our jurisdiction inasmuch as there is no decision rendered by the Tribunal on merits. The Supreme Court in L. CHANDRA KUMAR VS. UNION OF INDIA[1], has observed as under: “The jurisdiction conferred upon the High Courts under Articles 226/227 and upon the Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution is a part of the inviolable basic structure of our constitution. While this jurisdiction cannot be ousted, other courts and Tribunals may perform a supplemental role in discharging the powers conferred by Articles 226/227 and 32 of the Constitution.” Following the above judgment, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Tribunal to dispose of the O.A.No.4126 of 2008, as expeditiously as possible. However, it is open for the petitioner to file an application before the Tribunal within a period of four weeks from today seeking to vacate the interim order dated 26.06.2008 passed in O.A.No. 4126 of 2008, on the file of A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J. __________________ K.G.SHANKAR,J.
