JUDGMENT AND ORDER

(ORAL)

[1]

Heard Mr. Khalter Khampa, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. S. Kaminikumar, learned CGSC for the respondents. [2]

Mr. Khalter Khampa, learned counsel for the petitioner represented that the petitioner has filed the present writ petition seeking the prayers as follows :

"a) Admit the present writ petition, and allow the petitioner to raise more points at the time of hearing. b) Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate Writ/Order/directing the respondents to consider and dispose of the representations dated

20.02.2023 and

23.03.2023 within a stipulated period of time P a g e | 3

from the date of receipt of the Hon'ble Court's Order. c) To further direct the Respondents/Concern Authorities to pay the land rent on regular basis after the land rent arrear is duly disbursed. d) Pass any order(s) or direction(s) which the Hon'ble High Court may deem fit, just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case." [2]

Mr. Khalter Khampa, learned counsel for the petitioner further stated that since the writ petition has been filed seeking a simple direction from this Court to the respondents to pass appropriate speaking order on the petitioner's representations dated

20.03.2023 and 23.03.2023 within the stipulated period of time. [3]

When the matter came on 11.08.2023 in the motion, Mr. S. Kaminikumar, learned CGSC had taken notice on behalf of the respondents and sought time to get instruction from the respondents and report before this Court. P a g e | 4

[4]

When the matter is taken up today, I have heard the argument of Mr. Khalter Khampa, the learned counsel for the petitioner. [5]

Mr. S. Kaminikumar, learned CGSC represented that though he has given instructions to the respondents but no one turned up. Therefore, he prayed this Court that the Court may pass appropriate orders. [6]

The writ petition is filed only for a simple direction from this Court to the respondents to pass appropriate speaking orders on the petitioner's representations dated 20.03.2023 and 23.03.2023 within the stipulated period of time provided some breathing time may be given to the respondents to pass appropriate speaking orders. [7]

After hearing the arguments advanced by both the parties, I am inclined to pass the following orders :

a) the writ petition is disposed of. b) the respondents are directed to dispose of the petitioner's representations dated 20.03.2023 and 23.03.2023 and pass appropriate speaking orders. P a g e | 5

c) the said exercise shall be done within a period of 3 (three) months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. d) With this observation, this writ petition is disposed of.
