... Respondents PRAYER: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of Writ of Mandamus, to direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's request for one time settlement to the loan account number 30787955565 based on the petitioner's representation dated 23.11.2017.

For Petitioner :

O R D E R

The grievance of the petitioner is that his representation dated 23.11.2017, seeking request for one time settlement to the loan account No. 30787955565, has not been considered by the third respondent till date and therefore, he has filed the present writ petition.

2. 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 https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

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.

3. In view of the limited prayer sought for in this writ petition, there shall be a direction to the third respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 23.11.2017, on its own merits and take further action in accordance with law, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

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