Therefore, it is urged that the but they were respondents be directed to address the mee-seva applications, as such direction would suffice in the circumstances of the case. In the judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court in The Government of India vs P. Venkatesh reported in (2019) 15 SCO 613 held that: 2. “Dispose of the representation’ mantra is increasingly permeating the judicial process in the High Courts and the Tribunals. Such orders may make for a guick 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. 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 3. live" issue or whether it is with reference to a "dead" or "stale" issue, dead" or "stale" issue or dispute, the If it is with reference to a Court/Tribunal should put an end to the matter and should not direct 4 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 mee- seva applications bearing Nos.TTAOl 2500131158, dated 16.06.2025 and TTA012500127854, dated 24.02.2025 must be considered by the respondents, examined thoroughly, issue orders accordingly, 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. 6. With the above observation, 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. Sd/- M. RAMESH BABU DEPUTY REGISTRAR //TRUE COPY// SECTION OFFICER To, 1.
