Administrative Tribunal in CA.Nos.790, 791, 856 and 858 of 2005 in O.A.No.6164 of 2005. The issue involved and the parties are one and the same in all the writ petitions. These writ petitions are the outcome of a common order in the above C.As. Hence, all these writ petitions are being disposed of by a common order. According to the learned Advocate-General, in all the contempt applications, the respondents appeared, but the 2nd respondent in C.A.No.790 of 2005 in O.A.No.5610 of 2005 filed an application in C.M.A.No.267 of 2005 to dispense with his appearance for 21.12.2005 on the ground that he was busy with the law and order problem that arose in Agency Area of West Godavari District due to the assault on police and other Government Officials by Tribals on 20.12.2005 at about 2.00 p.m., and therefore, he was not able to attend before the Tribunal on 21.12.2005. Having not satisfied with the explanation given by the 2nd respondent in C.A.No.790 of 2005, the tribunal dispensed with his appearance for that day, but directed the 2nd respondent in C.A.No.790 of 2005 to appear on 29.12.2005 along with other respondents in other C.As. Hence, the present writ petition is preferred. Heard the learned Advocate-General and the learned Counsel for the respondent and perused the material available on record. In view of the fact that the contemnors in three C.As have appeared on 29.12.2005 as ordered by the Tribunal and in view of the nature of their duties, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, We feel it just and proper to dispense with the presence of the contemnors in the above C.As pending the contempt application subject to the result in the C.As and the Tribunal is further directed to dispose of the O.As within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order, in accordance with law. With the above direction, these writ petitions are disposed of. _________________________ Justice T. Meena Kumari ______________________ Justice G.Chandraiah Date: 12.07.2007 Nn/gurc THE HON'BLE SMT.
