Citation : 2021 Latest Caselaw 1217 AP
Judgement Date : 1 March, 2021
HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
W.P. No.4983 of 2021
O R D E R:-
This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief:
".....to issue a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not
re-inducing the petitioner into service in view of the variation in the enquiry report submitted vide reference of the 4th respondent, as illegal, arbitrary, discriminatory and violative of Articles 14, 19, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India, apart from contrary to CCA & CS Rules, and hence, the impugned compulsory retirement order dated 08.12.2016 of the 3rd respondent is liable to be set aside and consequently direct respondents 2 to 4 authorities to reinstate the petitioner into service with effect from 08.12.2016 with all consequential benefits in view of the report submitted by the 4th and 5th respondents."
Though Sri K.Srinivasa Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner,
made several allegations against the respondents during the course of
hearing, he requested this Court, without touching the merits of the
case, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the
representations submitted by the petitioner on 09.09.2016, 25.08.2017,
20.05.2019 and 16.09.2020.
The learned Government Pleader for Services-II appearing for the
respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representations of the
petitioner dated 09.09.2016, 25.08.2017, 20.05.2019 and 16.09.2020, if
any, pending with the respondent authorities.
In view of the submission of the learned Government Pleader for
Services-II, I need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations
made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no such direction can
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
2019 (8) SCALE 544 2 MSM,J WP_4983_2021
cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself
requested to issue a direction to dispose of the representations dated
09.09.2016, 25.08.2017, 20.05.2019 and 16.09.2020 submitted by the
petitioner, I find no other alternative except to issue such direction.
In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the
respondents to dispose of the representations submitted by the
petitioner on 09.09.2016, 25.08.2017, 20.05.2019 and 16.09.2020, in
accordance with law, within a period of one month from today. No
order as to costs.
As a sequel, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any pending, shall stand
disposed of as infructuous.
