Judgement Date : 23 August, 2022
THE HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE K. MANMADHA RAO
WRIT PETITION No.26655 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 action of the respondents in not considering the petitioner's case for posting the petitioner in and around Guntur Town where the petitioner's father is under going Chemo Therepy treatment after completion of the Cancer Surgery is wholly illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently declare that the Petitioner is entitled to be posted in and around Guntur Town or any other nearer place where his father is undergoing cancer treatment 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 10.06.2022 submitted by the
petitioner, without touching the merits of the case.
3. During hearing learned counsel for the Government Pleader for
Services-IV for the respondents would contend that the representation
dated 10.06.2022 placed on record, which alleged to have been
submitted to the respondents, contains no signature of the petitioner.
Therefore the said representation is not having legal sanctity and
same cannot be acceptable for consideration. Further it is contended
that if there is any proper representation is with the respondents,
they agreed to dispose of the same in accordance with law.
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
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 submitted by the petitioner,
I find no other alternative except to issue such direction.
6. However, there is discrepancy in the representation of the
petitioner dated 10.06.2022 as contended by the learned Government
Pleader for the respondents, this Court granting liberty to the
petitioner to submit fresh representation to the respondents within 15
days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order; on such
submission, the respondents are directed to dispose of the same 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.
