1.GP FOR REVENUE
HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO WRIT PETITION No.14732 of 2025 THE
ORDER;- Pithily this writ petition is filed on the ground that representation the authorities, but it was not dated 19.12.2024 was made to addressed. Therefore, it is urged that the respondents be directed to such direction would suffice in the address the representation, as circumstances of the case. The Hon’ble Apex Court in The Government of India vs P. Venkatesh^ held as follows;
“...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...”
2. 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 whether it is with reference to a "dead" or "stale" issue, stale" issue or dispute, the
3. live" issue or dead" or If it is with reference to a Court/tribunal should put an end to the matter and should not direct (2019) 15 see 613

consideration or reconsideration. If the Court to tribunal deciding to direct "consideration" without itself examining the merits, it should make it clear that such consideration will be without prejudice to any 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."
4. Disposal of proceedings by seemingly innocuous orders 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.
5. However, the respondents are
directed that the petitioner’s representation dated 19.12.2024 be considered by examining thoroughly, issue orders accordingly, and communicate the decision to the petitioners. It goes without saying that the entire process will be completed within six (06) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no
order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any. shall stand closed.
