Therefore, it is urged that the respondents be directed to such direction would suffice in the address the application, circumstances of the case. as The Government of India vs P. The Hon’ble Apex Court in Venkateshi' held as follows; 2. mantra is increasingly “...Dispose of the representation the High Courts and the permeating the judicial process ■ ^ Tribunals. Such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory mstitu lons^ But they do not service to the cause of justice. The litigan 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...” in 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 3. (2019) 15 see 613 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 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." any 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 application dated 23.06.2025 be considered by examining thoroughly, issue orders accordingly, and communicate the decision to the petitioner. 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.
