HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 16195 of 2007 Date 31-7-2007 Between: The Agricultural Market Committee ……… PETITIONER AND S.K. Osman, ……..RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.16195 of 2007 ORDER: (per Smt. T.Meena Kumari,J) The petitioner-Department filed the present writ petition seeking a writ of Certiorari to call for the records relating to and connected with the order dated 5.6.2007 in O.A. No.5320 of 2003 on the file of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad and to quash the same by holding it as illegal, arbitrary and without jurisdiction. The brief facts of the case are that the 1st respondent herein filed O.A. No. 5320 of 2001 assailing the action of the authorities in not regularizing the services of the 1st respondent as Watchman or in any other category in the Last Grade Service. The Tribunal, by the order impugned in this writ petition, disposed of the O.A. with a direction to the authorities to consider the case of the 1st respondent for regularization under G.O.Ms. No.212, Finance and Planning Department, dated 22.4.1994 and since the cases with regard to regularization of Services are pending before the Supreme Court, the Tribunal directed the authorities to pass appropriate orders so far as regularization of the services of 1st respondent is concerned, whether it is before 25.11.1993 or after the completion of five years, after the judgment was rendered by the Supreme Court in those cases. Till then, it directed the authorities to maintain status-quo. Aggrieved by the same, the Department filed the present writ petition. Admittedly, the Tribunal by the impugned order only directed the authorities to maintain status-quo till the disposal of the S.L.Ps. filed before the Supreme Court. In the circumstances, we do not find any infirmity or illegality in the order of the Tribunal warranting interference. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ (T.
