HC-KAR
5. Heard the arguments and perused the papers with
care.
6. The petitioners' grievance is that they have made
representations and the same have not been considered as of
today. It is significant to note that any representation submitted
by a Citizen to the authority concerned, must be given due
consideration at the earliest possible opportunity and the
authority is obligated to process and decide on it expeditiously.
Therefore, I deem it proper to issue a mandamus directing
respondents-authorities to consider the representations
submitted by the petitioners vide Annexures-D, D1 to D8 within
two weeks from the receipt of certified copy of this order in
accordance with the law, if not considered as of today.
7. With the above observation, writ petition is disposed
of. Needless to observe that this Court has not expressed
anything on the merits of the case.
