       THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY

                         WRIT PETITION NO.7919 OF 2021
ORDER:

This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:

"to issue an appropriate Writ, Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of WRIT OF MANDAMUS, declaring the action of the Respondent Nos.2 to 4 herein in not passing the orders on the representation of the Petitioner/ Society dated 15.03.2021, 18.03.2021 and 24.03.2021 followed by the resolution dated 04.01.2021 as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional and contrary to Section 15-A of A.P.Coop Societies Act, 1964 and consequently direct the Respondent Nos.2 to 5 herein to examine the proposal sent by the Petitioner/Society and dispose of the representation dated 15.03.2021, 18.03.2021 and 24.03.2021 followed by the resolution dated 04.01.2021."
Though the petitioner-Society made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner requested this Court, without touching the merits of the case, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the representations of the petitioner-Society dated 15.03.2021, 18.03.2021 and 24.03.2021.

Learned Government Pleader for Animal Husbandry readily agreed to dispose of the representations of the petitioner-Society dated 15.03.2021, 18.03.2021 and 24.03.2021, if any pending with the authorities.

In view of the submission of the learned Government Pleader for Animal Husbandry, I need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no such direction be issued, in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in "The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1", wherein the Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, they do no 1 2019 (8) SCALE 544 MSM,J WP_7919_2021 2 service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the representations of the petitioner-Society dated 15.03.2021, 18.03.2021 and 24.03.2021, I find no other alternative except to issue such direction.

In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to dispose of the representations of the petitioner- Society dated 15.03.2021, 18.03.2021 and 24.03.2021, in accordance with law, within four (4) weeks from today. No costs.

The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
