Citation : 2022 Latest Caselaw 157 AP
Judgement Date : 17 January, 2022
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.26843 OF 2016
ORDER:
This petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of
India seeking the following relief:-
"........to issue a Writ or direction more particularly one in the nature of Wirt of Mandamus directing the action of the respondent Nos. 2 to 4 in not disposing of the petitioners' representation dated 30.07.2016 is illegal arbitrary and violation of principles of natural justice and consequently direct the respondent Nos. 2 to4 not to make any constructions in Sy. Nos. 105 and 106 (kunta poramboku land) situated at Dasagounuru village, Kuppam Mandal, Chittoor District forthwith and to pass such other order .."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the
respondents, during hearing, A.Gangadyar, learned counsel for the
petitioners limited his request to dispose of representation, dated
30.07.2016 pending before respondent authorities, without touching
the merits of the case.
3. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for
respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representation, dated
30.07.2016, if any, pending with the respondent-authorities.
4. Recording the submissions made by the learned 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 no
service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the
petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the
2019 (8) SCALE 544
representation, dated 30.07.2016 pending before respondent
authorities, I find no other alternative, except to issue such direction.
5. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing
respondent Nos. 2 to 4 to dispose of the representation, dated
30.07.2016 pending before him, in accordance with law, within eight
(08) weeks from the date of a receipt of copy of this order. There shall
be no order as to costs.
6. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous applications, pending, if
any, shall also stand closed.
