JUSTICE SURAJ GOVINDARAJ ORAL ORDER 1. Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for respondents No.1 , 2 and 5. Sri Chandrakanth R Goulay, accepts notice for respondents No.3 and 4. 2. Petitioners are before this Court seeking for the following reliefs: "WHEREFORE, the petitioners most respectfully pray that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to: 1) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus to consider the representations dated 06.03.2026 as per Annexure - E made by the petitioners to Respondent Nos.2 to allot sites to the beneficiaries. 2) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus to directing the Respondent Nos.3 take action or act on communication letter dated 07.11.2025 at Annexures - D, in the interest of justice and equity. 3) Grant such other orders as this Hon'ble court deems fit to in the facts and circumstances of the case including an order as to cost in the interest of justice and equity. - 10 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28890 WP No. 11158 of 2026 3. The grievance of the petitioners is that the representation submitted by the petitioners on 06.03.2026 at Annexure - E to respondent No.2 to allot sites in the Ashraya Scheme has not been considered by the respondents despite long lapse of time. Petitioners belonging to a nomadic tribe, their request was required to be considered and necessary orders passed at the earliest. 4. Whenever any application or representation is made to a Government Authority, the said Authority is required to consider the same and pass necessary orders within a reasonable period of time either accepting or rejecting the request made. In the present case, the representation dated 06.03.2026 has still remained unconsidered. As such, I pass the following: ORDER (i) Writ Petition is allowed. (ii) A mandamus is issued directing respondent No.2 to consider the representation dated 06.03.2026 at Annexure - E and - 11 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28890 WP No. 11158 of 2026 pass necessary orders within a period of thirty days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. (iii) It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the entitlement of the petitioners and the same would have to be determined in accordance with law by respondent No.2.
