THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.12835 OF 2021
ORDER:
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-
"....to issue a Writ Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of Respondents 2 to 5 in not disposing of the representation, dated 09.11.2020 made by the petitioner along with the villagers, as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents 2 to 5 to consider the representation made by the devotees and pass such other order..."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, Smt. S.Kiranmayee, learned counsel for the petitioner limited her request to dispose of the representation made by the petitioner dated 09.11.2020, without touching the merits of the case.
3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, appearing for respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representation made by the petitioner dated 09.11.2020, if any, pending with the respondent-authorities.
4. Recording the submissions of the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, 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 2 service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the representation made by the petitioner dated 09.11.2020, I find no other alternative, except to issue such direction.
5. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 4th respondent authorities to dispose of the representation made by the petitioner dated 09.11.2020, in accordance with law, within four (04) weeks from today. No costs.
As a sequel miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
