Judgement Date : 18 August, 2022
THE HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE K. MANMADHA RAO
WRIT PETITION No.25980 OF 2022
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 Respondents in not considering the representation dt 18.07.2022 as illegal, unjust, violative of Article 21 of the Constitution of India 1950 and consequentially direct the Respondents to transfer the Petitioner from the Office of District Education Officer, Puttaparthi District to the office of the District Education Officer, Gunthakal, Ananthapuramu District and pass such other orders...."
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 respondents
to dispose of the representation dated 18.07.2022 submitted by the
petitioner, without touching the merits of the case.
3. Learned counsel for the Government Pleader for Services-III
readily agreed to dispose of the representation dated 18.07.2022
submitted by the petitioner, if any pending with the respondent
authorities.
4. In view of the submission of learned Government Pleader
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 18.07.2022 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
respondents to dispose of representation dated 18.07.2022 submitted
by the petitioner, in accordance with law, within six (06) 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.
