Court No. - 21
Case :- PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION (PIL) No. - 1102 of 2021 Petitioner :- Arvind Kumar Rai And 4 Others Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 5 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Shivam Singh Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.
Hon'ble Dinesh Pathak,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Standing Counsel representing respondent nos.1 to 4 and perused the record.
After due deliberations at length, learned counsel for the petitioner has confined his argument only with respect to prayer no.(ii), which is being reproduced below :-
"(ii) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding/directing to the respondent authorities to pass a reasoned and speaking order upon the application dated 05.02.2020 and 04.07.2021 filed by the petitioners (Annexure no.5) within some stipulated period of time."
Learned Standing Counsel has contended that he will have no objection, if this Court issues direction for early disposal of the representation dated 04.07.2021, which is pending before the authority concerned.
Seeing the limited prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner, no useful purpose would be served to keep this matter pending, therefore, this Court deems it appropriate to finally dispose of the present writ petition filed in the nature of Public Interest Litigation (PIL), without making any observation on the merits of the case as mentioned in the writ petition, with a direction to the District Magistrate, Jaunpur (respondent no.2), before whom petitioners' representation dated 04.07.2021 (Annexure-5) is pending, to decide the same in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within the period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
The petitioner shall file a computer generated copy of this order downloaded from the official website of High Court, Allahabad supported by an affidavit, which shall be verified by the concerned authority from the website of the High Court, Allahabad.
With the aforesaid observations, this petition is finally disposed of.
