Learned Government Pleader for Revenue readily agreed to dispose of 3. the representation of the petitioners dated 06.03.2025, if any pending with the authorities. In view of the submission of the learned Government Pleader for 4. 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.Venkatesh”’, 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 no service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the representation dated 06.03.2025, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to 5. dispose of the representation dated 06.03.2025 of the Petitioners within three (03) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by passing a speaking order. Till then, respondents are directed not to interfere with the 2019(8) SCALE 544 4 peaceful possession and enjoyment of the Petitioners’ lands admeasuring an extent of Ac.3.39 Cents situated in Survey No. 2233, an extent of Ac.1.51 cents situated in Survey No.2234/1 of Malemarpuram Revenue Village, Chitvel Mandal, Annamaiah District, Andhra Pradesh as well as entries already existing in the revenue records.
