Judgement Date : 25 February, 2021
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION No.4626 OF 2021
ORDER:-
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India seeking the following relief:
"......pleased to issue a writ, order or direction, more particularly one
in the nature of writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the Respondents
in not considering the case of the Petitioner for compassionate appointment in pursuance of her Representation dated 29.06.2020, as illegal, arbitrary, unjust and contrary to Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India as also the Scheme of Compassionate Appointment and issue consequential directions to the Respondents to consider the case of the Petitioner for compassionate appointment in pursuance of her Representation dated 29.06.2020 and pass such other order or orders ....."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against
the respondents, during hearing, Mr. P. Rajkumar, learned counsel
for the petitioner, requested this Court, without touching the
merits of the case, to issue a direction to respondent No.2 to
dispose of the representation, dated 29.06.2020, submitted by the
petitioner.
3. Learned Government Pleader for Services-I appearing
for the respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representation
of the petitioner, dated 29.06.2020, if any, pending with the
respondent authorities.
4. In view of the submission of the learned Government
Pleader for Services-I, 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 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 respondent No.2 to dispose of the representation,
dated 29.06.2020, 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.2 to dispose of the representation submitted by the
petitioner dated 29.06.2020, in accordance with law, within a
period of four (4) weeks from today. There shall be no order as to
costs.
Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, in this Writ Petition
shall stand closed.
