ORDER
By consent of both the parties, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal.
2. The petitioner herein had given a representation to the respondents on 06.06.2022 seeking for inclusion of the first petitioner's son, namely, Sreevathzan, in the Service Register of first petitioner's Husband, namely, Mr.Narasimman. Since the said representation was not considered, the present writ petition has been filed.
3. It is needless to point out that whenever a representation of this nature is made to a Statutory Authority, there is a duty cast upon the respondents to consider the same on its own merits and pass appropriate orders in one way or other, instead of keeping the same pending indefinitely. As such, non-consideration of the representation by the Statutory Authority would amount to https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2
W.P.(MD).No.13186 of 2022 dereliction of duty and hence, this Court will be justified in invoking its extraordinary powers under Article 226 of Constitution of India and direct them to consider the same within a stipulated time.
4. In the light of the above observations, there shall be a direction to the second respondent herein to consider the petitioner's representation dated 06.06.2022 on its own merits and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any of its views with regard to the merits of the claim of the petitioner and that it is open to the concerned respondent to consider the same on its own merits.
5. With the above direction, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs.
