THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION No.3803 OF 2021
ORDER:-
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-
"......issue a Writ, order or direction more in the nature of
Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the third respondent not
consider and disposing of petitioner representation dated 10.12.2020 not included the petitioner name in the seniority list in the category of Senior Assistant as illegal, arbitrary, unjust, improper, contrary to service rules and violation of principles of natural justice apart from violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution and consequently direct the respondents to include the petitioner name at Serial No.18 in the seniority list dated 26.11.2020 in the category of Senior Assistant and pass....."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, Sri T.S.N.Sudhakar, learned counsel for the petitioner, requested this Court, without touching the merits of the case, to issue a direction to respondent No.3 to dispose of the representation submitted by the petitioner on 10.12.2020.
3. Learned Government Pleader for Services-III appearing for the respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representation of the petitioner, dated 10.12.2020, if any, pending with the respondent authorities.
4. In view of the submission of the learned Government Pleader for Services-III, 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 2 in the case of 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 service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the representation, dated 10.12.2020, submitted by the petitioner, I find no other alternative except to issue such direction.
5. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.3 to dispose of the representation submitted by the petitioner on 10.12.2020, in accordance with law, within a period of one month from today. There shall be no order as to costs.
Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
