The perusal of impugned order (Annexure P-4) shows that while vacating the interim order, the Tribunal had categorically recorded that selection and appointment to the post in question would continue but the same shall be subject to final outcome of the O.A., which is pending before the Tribunal. It was not disputed by learned counsel for the petitioner that O.A. is pending for 24.01.2017.
