Citation : 2022 Latest Caselaw 163 AP
Judgement Date : 17 January, 2022
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY
WRIT PETITION NO.19662 OF 2016
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 taking any action against the 5th respondent for removing the nuisance and shifting from residential area duly considering our representation dated 28.03.2016 as highly illegal arbitrary and violation of Art 21 of Constitution of India and pass such other order or orders."
2. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the
respondents, during hearing, Mr.K.Chidambaram, learned counsel
for the petitioner limited his request to dispose of the representation
dated 28.03.2016 made by the 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 28.03.2016 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
for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of
2019 (8) SCALE 544
the representation dated 28.03.2016 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 28.03.2016,
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, if it is pending. No costs.
As a sequel miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall
also stand closed.
