CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE M.S.RAMESH W.P.(MD) No.8978 of 2018 Naveenkumar ... Petitioner vs.

1.The Superintendent of Police, Tirunelveli, Tirunelveli District.

2.The Inspector of Police, Panagudi Police Station, Tirunelveli District.

... Respondents PRAYER: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of Writ of Mandamus, directing the second respondent to grant permission and accord protection for conducting Kabadi Tournament scheduled on 03.05.2018 at 09.00 p.m to 04.05.2018 at 09.00 am for one day held in Selvapandi ground, Nerunji Colony, Panagudi, Tirunelveli District.

For Petitioner : Mr.M.Subash Babu For Respondents : Mr.N.Shanmuga Selvam Additional Government Pleader

O R D E R

Mr.N.Shanmuga Selvam, learned Additional Government Pleader, takes notice for the respondents.

2. By consent of both parties, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself.

3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that his representation dated 05.04.2018 seeking permission to conduct Kabadi tournaments scheduled on 03.05.2018 and 04.05.2018, has not been considered by the respondents till date and therefore, he has filed the present writ petition.

4. This Court has not expressed any of its view with regard to the merits of the representation made by the petitioner. It is needless to point out that whenever a representation of this nature is made, the respondents are duty bound to consider the same in one way or the other. Non-consideration of the same would amount to dereliction of ordinary duties of their office and as such, this Court would be justified in invoking its powers conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct them to consider the petitioner's representation within a stipulated time.

5. In view of the limited prayer sought for in this writ petition, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 17.04.2018 on its own https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

merits and take further action in accordance with law, on or before 01.05.2018.

6. With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
