BHARGAV THIMMARAJU Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR MEDICAL HEALTH FW The Court made the following: ORDER: Heard Sri Bhargav Thimmaraju, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Medical and Health for the respondents. 2. The writ petition is directed against the inaction of the respondents in not considering the representation of the petitioner for 2 extension of lease period for operating the cycle stand canteen at Sri Potti Sree Ramulu Hospital, BaptlaTown, Guntur District. 3. It is contended that in 2014, a notification was issued calling for tenders to run the Canteen and Cycle Stand in the hospital premises. The petitioner was the successful bidder. Thus, he was awarded the contract for running the Cycle Stand. Thereafter, the lease was extended from time to time till 2024. Seeking an extension of the lease, the petitioner has approached the authorities and made representation. Since his request was not considered, a Writ Petition earlier was filed. During the course of the hearing of the said writ petition, it was informed to the court by the respondents that the Government was considering the establishment of a trauma care centre; therefore, extension of the lease cannot be granted. Thus, the petitioner has undertaken to vacate the premises within 3 months and the writ petition was accordingly disposed of. It is contended that the respondents so far have not taken any decision regarding the establishment of trauma care in the hospital. Therefore, the petitioner seeks extension of the lease till such time. It is stated that the petitioner has made a representation to the authorities in the said regard. 4. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for medical and health has placed on record a copy of the instructions he received in the case. The said instructions reflect that the petitioner is due a sum of Rs.45,000/- to the 4th respondent towards lease charges, and the petitioner 3 has not discharged the said liability. He thus urges that the petitioner is not entitled to seek any indulgence of this court. 5. Considered the rival submissions. The only relief sought in the writ petition is for a direction to the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 10.02.2025 and 07.03.2025. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the contentions advanced, this court deems it appropriate to direct the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner. 6. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of directing the 4th respondent to dispose of the representation, dated 10.02.2025 said to have been filed by the petitioner within a period of two (02) weeks from the date of receipt of the order. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, all pending miscellaneous applications shall stand closed. _______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Date: 20.03.2025 MSI 4 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA WRIT PETITION NO: 7136/2025 Date: 20.03.2025 MSI
