       THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY

                         WRIT PETITION NO.305 OF 2020
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 representation dated 21.10.2019 submitted by the petitioner and not deciding the issue relating to performing Dappu service in Atmakur village as illegal and arbitrary and Consequently direct the respondents to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner through Spandana on 21.10.2019and pass such other order or orders."

2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the

respondents, during hearing, Mr.P.Gangarami Reddy, learned

counsel for petitioner limited his request to dispose of the

representation dated 21.10.2019 made by petitioner, without

touching the merits of the case.

3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for

Revenue, appearing for respondents readily agreed to dispose of the

representation dated 21.10.2019 submitted by the petitioner, if any,

pending with the respondent-authorities.

4. Recording the submissions of the learned Assistant

Government Pleader for Revenue, 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 in overburdened adjudicatory institutions.

But, they do not serve to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel

2019 (8) SCALE 544

for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of

the representation dated 21.10.2019 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

respondents to dispose of the representation dated 21.10.2019,

submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate order in

accordance with law, within four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of

copy of this order. No costs.

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

also stand closed.
