          THE HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE K. MANMADHA RAO

                 WRIT PETITION (A.T) No.808 OF 2021

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 to direct the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the representation dated 16.11.2016 of the petitioner for promotion to the post of Panchayat Secretary, Grade-II and Grade-I and to 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 16.11.2016

submitted by the petitioner, without touching the merits of the

case.

3. Learned counsel for the Government Pleader for Services-IV

for the respondents readily agreed to dispose of the representation

dated 16.11.2016 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 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 16.11.2016 submitted by the petitioner, I find

no other alternative except to issue such direction.

6. In the result, Writ Petition is disposed of, while directing the

2nd respondent to communicate the copy of the order, if it is passed

within two (02) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this

order or directing the 2nd respondent dispose of the representation

dated 16.11.2016 submitted by the petitioner 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.
