1) Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Government Pleader for Medical, Health and Family Welfare (TG). With the consent of both the parties, the writ petition is heard at the admission stage itself.

2) The present writ petition came to be filed seeking issuance of writ of mandamus declaring the action of respondent No.1 in not giving necessary directions to respondent No.3 to arrange the required information in the form of CD and the documents in photo copies pursuant to the representation dated 07.09.2016, as illegal, arbitrary and unjust; and consequently direct respondent No.3 to furnish the information in the form of CD and the documents in photo copies.

3) Though various grounds are raised in the writ petition, learned counsel for the petitioner restricts his prayer seeking a direction to the respondents to consider his representation dated 07.09.2016.

4) Without going into the merits of the case and having regard to the submissions made, the present writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.3 to consider the representation dated 07.09.2016 and pass orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of four (04)

weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. There shall be no order as to costs.

5) Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
