It is accordingly contended that since Petitioner instead of challenging order dated 02.04.2024, has filed the present Writ Petition seeking a direction on the Opp. Parties to provide the acknowledgement showing receipt of order dated 02.04.2024, the present Writ Petition with the prayer as made is not entertainable. 6. Having heard learned counsel for the Parties and considering the submission made, this Court finds that Petitioner while continuing as a Cadre APP, he approached the Tribunal by filing O.A. No.2010(C) of 2018 and O.A. No. 2336 (C) of 2018. Both the original applications were disposed of on dated 30.07.2018 and 19.11.2018 respectively, vide orders under Annexure-2- Series.
