THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION No.3623 OF 2021
ORDER:-
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-
"......pleased to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction
more particularly one in the nature of WRIT OF MANDAMUS
aggrieved by the action of the 3rd respondent in not considering the
petitioner's objections and trying to give appointment under compassionate grounds to 4th respondent during pendency of SOP (Succession Petition) 8 of 2019 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge at Srikakulam is without any authority under law which is highly illegal, unjust, arbitrary and contrary to law and violations of principles of natural justice and contrary to Articles 300-A and 14, 21 of Constitution of India and consequently direct the 3rd respondent not to give any compassionate appointment to 4th respondent during pendency of SOP (Succession Petition) 8 of 2019 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge at Srikakulam and consider the petitioner's objections and pass such ....."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the
respondents, during hearing, Sri S.Srinivasa Rao, learned counsel
for the petitioner, requested this Court, without touching the
merits of the case, to issue a direction to respondent No.3 to
consider the objections/legal notice, dated 28.1.2021, of the
petitioner.
3. Learned Government Pleader for Services-I appearing for the
respondents readily agreed to consider the objections/legal notice,
dated 28.1.2021, of the petitioner, 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.3 to consider the objections/legal notice, dated
28.1.2021, of 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 consider the objections/legal notice, dated
28.1.2021, of the petitioner, 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.
