DASARI S VV S V PRASAD Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1.GP FOR REVENUE THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO WRIT PETITION No.21979 of 2025 ORDER:- Pithily this writ petition is filed on the ground that representation/notice dated 13.06.2025 was made to the authorities, but it was not addressed. Therefore, it is urged that the respondents be directed to address the representation/notice, as such direction would suffice in the circumstances of the case. 2. 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...” 3. 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 (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." Disposal of proceedings by seemingly innocuous orders directing consideration of representations 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 representation/notice dated 13.06.2025 be considered by examining thoroughly, issue orders accordingly, and communicate the decision 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. Till such time, respondents are directed not to take any coercive steps. any 4. to 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be order as to costs. no As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. SD/- G. HELA NAIDU ASSISTANT REGfSTRAR //TRUE COPY// SECTI^ OFFICER To, 1.
