This writ petition has been filed for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus to direct the second and third respondents to consider and pass orders on the application made by the petitioner dated 03.04.2017,
2. It is the grievance of the petitioner that he has submitted a representation dated 03.04.2017 to the third respondent for conducting Panguni Uthira Chariot festival relating to Subramanya Swami temple in Namakkal District, as per the Tamil Nadu Police Standing Orders. The third respondent refused to receive the petition, claiming that appropriate order has to be obtained from the High Court. Hence, the representation was sent to the second respondent through post. Till date, the said representation has not been considered. Hence this writ petition.
