Mr. Gaurav Pawar, Advocate holding brief of Ms. Prabha Naithani, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Manoj Kumar, Standing Counsel for Union of India. 2. By means of this writ petition, petitioners have sought the following reliefs: “1. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus directing the Respondent No.1 Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to consider and decide the petitioners' representation/supplementary writ petition in compliance of the order dated 10.03.20260 (Annexure No.1, Page No.12-14) passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in W.P.(C) No. 266 of 2026; 2. Issue a writ, order or direction directing the Respondents to pass a reasoned and speaking order after considering the grievances, grounds and constitutional issues raised by the petitioners in the writ petition filed before the Hon'ble Supreme Court; 3. Issue a writ, order or direction directing the Respondents to take a decision within a time-bound period as may be fixed by this Hon'ble Court.” 3. According to the petitioners, Hon’ble Supreme Court directed Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to look into the grievance raised by petitioner vide order dated 10.03.2026; however, no decision has been taken on the representation submitted by petitioners pursuant to said order. 4. Learned counsel appearing for respondents, however, refers to order dated 2026:UHC:3880 16.02.2026, issued by concerned Ministry whereby petitioners were informed that policy was formulated after considering the matter in great detail, therefore, it is not possible to reconsider the said policy. Thus, it is contended on behalf of the respondents that decision on petitioners’ representation has been taken. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that the decision referred to by learned counsel for respondents is earlier in point of time, as Hon’ble Supreme Court had issued direction only on 10.03.2026, while the order issued by Ministry is of 16.02.2026. Thus, it is contended that the representation submitted by petitioner in terms of order of Hon’ble Supreme Court is still pending consideration. 6. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of by directing respondent No. 1 to look into the matter and if representation submitted by petitioner in terms of order passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court is pending consideration, then to pass appropriate order as per law, within three months from date of presentation of certified copy of this order.
