Judgement Date : 4 March, 2021
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.5291 OF 2021
ORDER:
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution
of India seeking the following relief:-
"....to issue Writ Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the 2nd respondent in not considering the petitioner's representations, dated 24.06.2020, 30.09.2020 and 31.12.2020 respectively seeking promotion to the post of Assistant Manager (Labour Welfare Officer) in 3rd respondent Corporation, as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to constitute a selection committee and call all eligible candidates for interview for the post of Assistant Manager (Labour Welfare Officer) and pass such other order."
2. Though the petitioners made several allegations against the
respondents, during hearing, Sri V. Siva Prasad Reddy, learned
counsel for the petitioner limited his request to dispose of the
representation made by the petitioner on 24.06.2020, without
touching the merits of the case.
3. Learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology appearing
for respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representation
submitted by the petitioner, if any, pending with the respondent-
authorities.
4. In view of the learned Government Pleader for Mines and
Geology, 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
Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1", wherein the Apex Court
held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases
2019 (8) SCALE 544
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 dispose of the representation dated
24.06.2020 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 the
respondent authorities to dispose of the representation submitted by
the petitioner, dated 24.06.2020, in accordance with law, within four
(04) weeks from today. No costs.
As a sequel miscellaneous applications, pending, if any, shall
also stand closed.
