     THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY

                    WRIT PETITION No.14463 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 the Respondents in not considering the Petitioners representation dated 15.03.2021 not to make any constructions contrary to the approved layout plan in R.S.No. 99/5, 99/6 and 99/7 part of Kanuruagraharam Village, Peravali Mandal, West Godavari District, as illegal, arbitrary colourable exercise of power, violation of principles of Natural Justice violation of Articles 14 and 300-A of the Constitution of India and consequently, direct the Respondents to consider the Petitioners representation dated 15.03.2021 not to make any constructions contrary to the approved layout plan in R.S.No. 99/5, 99/6 and 99/7 part of Kanuruagraharam Village, Peravali Mandal, West Godavari District...."

2. Though the petitioners made several allegations against the

respondents, during the course of hearing learned counsel for the

petitioners requested this Court without touching the merits of the

case, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the

representation dated 15.03.2021 submitted by the petitioners.

3. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for

respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representation dated

15.03.2021 submitted by the petitioners, 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

make 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 petitioners himself requested to

issue a direction to dispose of the representation dated 15.03.2021

submitted by the petitioners, I find no other alternative except to

issue such direction.

6. In the result, Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the

respondents to dispose of representation dated 15.03.2021 submitted

by the petitioners, in accordance with law, within four (04) weeks

from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.

As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall

also stand closed.
