JADA SRAVAN KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR SERVICES III 2. GP FOR SERVICES I The Court made the following: ORDER: The Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking the following relief: “…..declaring the inaction of the 4th respondent to consider and take appropriate action on the petitioner’s representation dated 18.12.2024 seeking promotion to the post of Grade-ll Headmaster, based on the petitioner’s seniority and qualifications as per AP Education Code 311(iii), for 2 which the petitioner is eligible as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of the petitioner’s fundamental rights under Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 18.12.2024 and promote him as Headmaster in view of his eligibility and to pass such other order or orders…..” 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Services, appearing for the respondents 1 to 6. 3. On hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner reiterated the contentions which are urged in the writ petition and limited his request to dispose of the representation dated 18.12.2024 submitted by the petitioner, without touching the merits of the case. 4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Services, appearing for the respondents 1 to 6, readily agreed to dispose of the said representation submitted by the petitioner, if it is pending with the respondent- authorities. 5. In view of the submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, this Court need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no such direction be issued, in view of the Judgment of the Honourable Apex Court in “The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1”, wherein the Honourable Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory 1 2019 (8) SCALE 544 3 institutions. But, they do no service to the cause of justice. Hence, I find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 6. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 4th respondent to dispose of the representation dated 18.12.2024 submitted by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three (03) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. 7. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ DR. K. MANMADHA RAO, J.
