Learned Government Pleader readily agreed to dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 16.04.2026, if any pending with the authorities. ::4:: 4. In view of the submission of the learned 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 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 dispose of the representation dated 16.04.2026, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 5. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the representation dated 16.04.2026 of the Petitioner within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. Consequently, interlocutory applications pending, if any, shall also stand closed. ________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA,J Dt: 07.05.2026 krk 1 2019 (8) SCALE 544 ::5:: THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA 124 WRIT PETITION No. 7349/2026 07.05.2026 krk
