THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.27777 OF 2016
ORDER:
This petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-
"....to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or direction declaring the action of the respondents in not taking action to restore the irrigation canal situated in Sy. No. 181, 182 and 183 of Tallapudi Valluru Village, Muthukur Mandal, SPSR Nellore District is illegal and arbitrary and consequently direct the respondents to restore the canals in Sy. No. 181, 182 and 183 of Tallapudi Valluru Village, Muthukur Mandal, S.P.S.R Nellore District by considering the representations dated 10.05.2016 and 16.05.2016 and to pass such other order.."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, Sri C.Subodh, learned counsel for the petitioner limited his request to dispose of representations, dated 10.05.2016 and 16.05.2016 pending before respondent authorities, without touching the merits of the case.
3. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representations, dated 10.05.2016 and 16.05.2016, if any, pending with the respondent- authorities.
4. Recording the submissions made by 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 service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the 1 2019 (8) SCALE 544 2 petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the representations, dated 10.05.2016 and 16.05.2016 pending before respondent authorities, I find no other alternative, except to issue such direction.
5. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing respondents to dispose of the representations, dated 10.05.2016 and 16.05.2016 pending before him, in accordance with law, within eight (08) weeks from the date of a receipt of copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.
6. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous applications, pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
