Though the petitioner made several allegations against the respondents, during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners requested this Court, without touching the merits of the case, to issue a direction to the respondents to consider the Form-6A applications/representations dated 17.02.2025 and 31.01.2025 of the Petitioners. 3. Learned Standing Counsel for Respondents readily agreed to consider the Form-6A applications/representations dated 17.02.2025 and 31.01.2025, if any pending with the authorities. 4. In view of the submission of the learned Standing Counsel for Respondents, this Court need not decide the truth or otherwise of the ::3:: 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 no service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to consider the Form-6A applications/representations dated 17.02.2025 and 31.01.2025, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 5. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the Form-6A applications/representations dated 17.02.2025 and 31.01.2025 of the Petitioners within three (03) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by passing a speaking order. No costs. Consequently, interlocutory applications pending, if any, shall also stand closed. ________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA,J Dt: 25.03.2025 klk 12019 (8) SCALE 544 ::4:: 138 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA WRIT PETITION NO: 7772 of 2025 25.03.2025 klk
