Judgement Date : 9 July, 2021
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION No.13118 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 inaction of the respondent No.2 in disposing of the representation sent by the petitioner herein on 28.09.2020 by Registered Post with Acknowledgement Due as unjust, illegal, arbitrary and further direct the Respondent No.2 to consider and dispose of the above representations sent by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, within the time frame fixed by this Hon'ble Court, in accordance with law...."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the
respondents, during the course of hearing learned counsel for the
petitioner requested this Court to issue a direction to the 2nd
respondent to dispose of the representation dated 28.09.2020
submitted by the petitioner, without touching the merits of the case.
3. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for
respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representation dated
28.09.2020 submitted by the petitioner, if any pending with the
respondent authorities.
4. In view of the submission of Government Pleader for Revenue
appearing for respondents, I need not decide the truth or otherwise of
the allegations made in the petition.
5. 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 be
2019 (8) SCALE 544
passed for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened
adjudicatory institutions but, they do not serve to the cause of justice.
As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a
direction to dispose of the representation dated 28.09.2020 submitted
by the petitioner, I find no other alternative except to issue such
direction.
6. In the result, Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 2nd
respondent to dispose of representation dated 28.09.2020 submitted
by the petitioner, in accordance with law, within four (04) weeks from
today. No costs.
As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall
also stand closed.
