3.Whenever a representation is made to a statutory authority to redress the claim of the employee, there is a duty cast upon the respondents to consider the same on its own merit and pass appropriate orders in one way or other, instead of keeping the same pending indefinitely. Such an inaction would amount to dereliction of duties and thereby this Court would be justified in invoking its extraordinary powers under Article 226 of Constitution of India and thereby direct such authority to consider the representation within the stipulated time.
4.In view of the above observations, there shall be a direction to the first respondent herein to consider the petitioner's representations dated 10.12.2019 on its own merits and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any of its view with regard to the claim made by the petitioner in his representation and it is for the first respondent to consider it in accordance with law. 5.With the above directions, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
