THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V. SEETHAPATHY WRIT PETITION NO : 24844 of 2010 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) Assailing the order of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad passed in O.A. No.2137 of 2008, dated 24.3.2008, the department filed the present writ petition. The facts in brief are that the 1st respondent herein filed O.A. No. 2137 of 2008 before the Tribunal seeking to call for the records relating to Memo No. 5822/SE.II.1/06-3, dated 12.3.2008 and the consequential proceedings and to quash the same. He also sought for a consequential direction to declare that he is entitled to be promoted as per the seniority and merit list. The Tribunal, by the order impugned in this writ petition, while admitting the O.A. has granted interim suspension of the proceedings bearing Memo No. 5822/SE.II.1/06-3, dated 12.3.2008. A further direction was also issued to review the promotions already made based on the above said memo; that the promotions if any made based on the impugned memo which is already suspended shall also remain suspended. Aggrieved by the said order, the department filed the present writ petition. Admittedly, the impugned order was passed by the Tribunal in the year 2008 and the department filed the present writ petition nearly after a period of two and half years. If really, the department is aggrieved by the interim order passed by the Tribunal, it ought to have filed a vacate petition before the Tribunal seeking vacation of the said interim order. Hence, we are not inclined to entertain the present writ petition. At this stage, learned Special Government Pleader representing the learned Addl. Advocate General has submitted that the department has already filed a vacate petition before the Tribunal and the same is pending. In view of the aforesaid submission of the learned Special Government Pleader, it would suffice if a direction is issued to the Tribunal to dispose of the vacate petition. Accordingly, there shall be a direction to the Tribunal to dispose of the vacate petition, if any, filed by the department in the aforementioned O.A., as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ T. MEENA KUMARI,J DATE: 6th October, 2010 _________________ G.V. SEETHAPATHY pnb
