After arguing the cases and upon noticing that this Court is not inclined to entertain the writ petitions at the stage of show-cause notice, Ms.Uma Devi, learned counsel for the petitioners, requested for permission of the Court to withdraw the writ petitions with liberty to her clients to file detailed explanations to the show-cause notices raising all legally permissible grounds.

In these facts and circumstances of the cases, the petitioners are permitted to submit their explanations within two weeks from today.

Upon receipt of such explanations, respondent No.2 shall consider the same, pass detailed orders and communicate the same to the petitioners. It is needless to observe that till this process is completed, the petitioners shall not be displaced from the posts they have been holding presently.

The writ petitions are accordingly dismissed with liberty to the petitioners in terms of the prayer made.

As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petitions, pending interlocutory applications shall stand disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 10th July, 2015 VGB
