In view of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, this Court 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 the Appeal dated 07.08.2024, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 6. Accordingly, the present Writ Petition is disposed of, with a direction to the respondent authorities, more particularly, 3rd respondent herein to consider and dispose of the Appeal dated 07.08.2024 preferred by the petitioner and to pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, after providing opportunity of hearing to both the parties, within a period of three (03) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
