The learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents readily agreed to consider the F-line application dated 07.08.2025 submitted by the Petitioner, if any pending with the authorities. 4.
In view of the submission of the learned Government Pleader for Respondents, 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 Apex Court in “The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1”, wherein the 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. As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to consider the F-line application dated 07.08.2025 submitted by the Petitioner, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 5. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the F-line application dated 07.08.2025 submitted by the Petitioner within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by passing a speaking order after
