Therefore, it is urged that the respondents be directed to address the same, as such direction would suffice in the circumstances of the case. The Hon’ble Apex Court in The Government of India vs P. 2. 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...” This Court is not oblivious of the fact that a Court to authorities 3. 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 1 (2019) 15 see 613 4 consideration or reconsideration. If the Court to tribunal deciding to d rect "consideration" without itself examining the merits, it should , I rr ake 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 d recting consideration of representations though result in quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions but sjjch orders do more disservice than service to the cause of justice. 5i However, the respondents are directed that the petitioners Grievance No.VSP202412022275 dated 02.12.2024, and representation dated 05.09.2025 be considered by examining j thjoroughly, issue orders accordingly, and communicate the decision to the petitioners. It goes without saying that the entire process will be I c(3mpleted within six (06) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of tflis order. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no Older as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. Sd/-G.HELA NAIDU ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //TRUE COPY// If SECTION OFFICER To, 1.
