THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.15121 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 inaction of the Respondents on representations of the petitioners dated 10.05.2021 and 15.05.2021 as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14 and 21 of Constitution of India and violation of principles of natural justice and consequently direct the Respondents 2,3 and 4 to dispose of the representations of the petitioners in accordance with law'.
Though the petitioners made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners requested this Court without touching the merits of the case, requests this Court to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the representations of the petitioners dated 10.05.2021 and 15.05.2021.
Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue readily agreed to dispose of the representations of the petitioners dated 10.05.2021 and 15.05.2021, if any, pending with the respondents authorities.
In view of the submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Education, 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 not 1 2019 (8) SCALE 544 2 service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioners themselves requested to issue a direction to dispose of the representations dated 10.05.2021 and 15.05.2021 of the petitioners, I find no other alternative except to issue such direction.
In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 4th respondent to dispose of the representations of the petitioners dated 10.05.2021 and 15.05.2021, in accordance with law, within four(4) weeks from today. No costs.
The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
