1. GP FOR ENDOWMENTS The Court made the following: ORDER: The Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking the following relief:

2
violative of principles of natural justice, violative of fundamental rights and constitutional rights guaranteed to the Petitioner under Articles 14, 19, 21 and 300A of Constitution of India and consequently direct the Respondent No.4 to 6 to not remove Petitioner’s name from the subject land admeasuring Ac.1.33 cents in Sy.No.1050 and Ac.0.44 cents in Sy.No.224 of Peerusaheb Peta Village, Miduthur Mandal, Nandyala District pending the decision on the Petitioner’s representation dated 25.11.2024 to recognize the land admeasuring Ac.8.00 cents in Survey No.1050 and Ac.2.75 cents in Sy.No.224 of Peerusaheb Peta Village, Miduthur Mandal, Nandyala District as Endowments land and pass such other order or orders…..”
2. Heard Mr.G.Arun Showri, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments, appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, appearing for the respondents 3 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 25.11.2024 submitted by the petitioner, without touching the merits of the case. 4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleaders for Endowments and Revenue, appearing for the respondents, readily agreed to dispose of the said representation submitted by the petitioner, if any, pending with the respondent-authorities. 5.
In view of the submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleaders, 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
3
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 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 at the stage of admission, directing the respondents to dispose of the representation dated 25.11.2024 submitted by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six (06) 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. Date: 29.01.2025 ARR
