Heard Shri Anil Kumar Pandey for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent nos.1 and 2 and Shri Anadi Krishna Narayana for the respondent nos.3 and 4.
The petitioner in the writ petition is seeking the following main relief:-
"(i) issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent no.3 to decide the representation of the petitioner in view of the office memorandum dated 15.06.2018 within stipulated period as fixed by this Hon'ble Court."
Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to show that the representation which the petitioner wants to be decided is a statutory representation. In the absence of any rule providing for filing of representation and the same to be decided by the respondents, no such direction can be issued to the respondents to decide his representation unless there is a corresponding statutory obligation on the State to decide the representation.
The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
