I), dated 22.12.2023. Counsel for the Petitioner: 1.RAMU PANCHUMARTHI in Anandapuram Mandal Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1.GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following: THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO WRIT PETITION NO. 13015 of 2025 ORDER: The present writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief: “...to issue an appropriate Writ, Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the inaction of the 3"^ Respondent in Implementing G.O.Ms.No.607, Revenue (Lands. I), dated 22.12.2023 for exchange of Government land In Sy.No.9p measuring an extent of Acs.0.309Cts classified as Pachikabayalu (Grazing land) in lieu of Patta land in Sy.No.4 measuring an extent of Acs.0.309Cts of Tarluwada Village of Anandapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District for formation of approach road to the layout in Sy.No.4 of Tarluwada Village to the layout of the petitioner as illegal, arbitrary and unjust and consequently direct the Respondents to allot of Government land in Sy.No.9p measuring an extent of Acs. 0.309 Cts classified as Pachikabayalu (Grazing land) In lieu of Patta land in Sy.No.4 measuring an extent of Acs. 0.309 Cts of Tarluwada Village of Anandapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District for formation of approach road to the layout In Sy.No.4 of Tarluwada Village in terms of G.O.Ms. No. 607 Revenue (Lands. I), dated 22.12.2023 and to pass such other further order or orders as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. ” Pithily this writ petition is filed on the ground that a representation was made to the authorities, but it was not addressed. Therefore, it is urged that the respondents be directed to address the representation, as such direction would suffice in the circumstances of the case. 2. In the judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court in The Government of India vs P. Venkatesh reported in (2019) 15 SCC 613 held that; 3. Dispose of the representation’ mantra is increasingly permeating the judicial process in the High Courts and the Tribunals. Such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, they do not service to the cause of justice. The litigant is back again before the Court, as this case shows, having incurred attendant costs and suffered delays of the legal process. This would have been obviated by calling for a counter in the first instance, thereby resulting in finality to the dispute. 4. This Court is not oblivious of the fact that a Court to authorities, before directing "consideration" of a claim or representation should examine whether the claim or representation is with reference to a "live" issue or whether it is with reference to a "dead" or "stale" issue If it is with reference to a "dead" or "stale" issue or dispute, the Court/tribunal should put an end to the matter and should not direct consideration or reconsideration. If the Court to tribunal deciding direct "consideration" without itself examining the merits, it should make it clear that such consideration will be without prejudice to contention relating to limitation or delay and laches. Even if the Court does not expressly say so, that would be the legal position and effect." to any 5. Disposal of proceedings by seemingly directing consideration of representation though result in quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions but such orders do more disservice than service to the cause of justice. However the respondents are directed that the petitioner's representations dated 02.04.2025, 05.10.2024 and 21.06.2024 innocuous orders 6. must 3 /*■ be considered by the respondents, examined thoroughly, issue orders accordingly, keeping in view of the G.O.Ms.No.607. Revenue (Lands.I), dated 22.12.2023, and communicate the decision given to the petitioner. It goes without saying that the entire process will be completed within six weeks from the date of the order is received. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. 7. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any shall stand closed. Sd/- H. r^AGAIVSP/.A assistant registrar //TRUE COPY// SECTION OFFICER To, 1.
