The Tahsildar, Office of the Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Thiruvadanai, Ramanathapuram-623 407.

:Respondent PRAYER: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, praying to issue a Writ of Mandamus, to direct the respondent to provide inter-caste marriage certificate to the petitioner and his wife by considering the petitioner's representation dated 05.01.2018 within the time stipulated by this Court. For Petitioner : Mr.R.Alagumani For Respondent : Mr.J.Gunaseelan Muthiah, Additional Government Pleader.

ORDER

Heard Mr.R.Alagumani, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.J.Gunaseelan Muthiah, learned Additional Government Pleader, who takes notice on behalf of the respondent. 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 05.01.2018 to provide inter-caste marriage certificate to the petitioner and his wife has not been considered by the respondents till date and therefore, 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 other. Non consideration of the same would amount to dereliction of their ordinary duties of their office and as such this Court would be justified in invoking its powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct them to consider the petitioner's representation within a stipulated time. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

No costs.
