Counsel for the Petitioner: 1. UMESH CHANDRA P V G Counsel for the Respondent(S):

1. GP FOR HOME The Court made the following:

ORDER:

The Writ Petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-

“…to issue an appropriate writ or any other order or direction particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus to declare the action of Respondent Authorities in not responding to the representation made by the Petitioner by Respondent No 3 dated 05 02 2026 and pending the application is as Violative of Articles of the Constitution of India and consequently direct Respondent Authorities specifically Respondent No 3 to Respondent No 6 to make necessary arrangements and allow the petitioner to conduct the meeting peacefully on 22 02 2026 at the venue Ground opposite to Acharya Nagarjuna University Mangalagiri Guntur District to secure the ends of justice and to pass….”

2. Heard the erudite submissions of Sri Y.V. Ravi Prasad, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of Sri Umesh Chandra, learned Counsel for the Petitioner, and Smt. A.Jayanthi, the learned Government Pleader for Home.

3. Sri Y.V.Ravi Prasad, the learned Senior Counsel espousing the Petitioner's cause, strenuously contends that the Petitioner is vested with an inviolable fundamental right enshrined under Article 19(1)(b) of the Constitution of India to convene a public convocation on 22.02.2026 at the delineated locus. Learned Senior Counsel elucidates that various representations were dispatched to Respondent No.3 on 05.02.2026, 10.02.2026, and 12.02.2026, yet these supplications have been perfunctorily ignored, notwithstanding their iterative persistence.

4. Per contra, Smt. A.Jayanthi, the learned Government Pleader for Home, rejoins that the Petitioner labors under the incubus of 21 criminal prosecutions pendente lite. She posits the manifest impracticability for Respondent No.3 to orchestrate the profuse logistical sinews implored by the Petitioner. Respondent No.3 harbors apprehensions that the Petitioner and his acolytes may fulminate with vituperative and calumnious oratory, precipitating a cascade of law-and-order perturbations. The proposed venue, contiguously abutting the National Highway, imperils vehicular flux with prospective obstructions. Concurrently, constabulary deployments are inexorably committed to securitization vis-à-vis ongoing scholastic examinations and legislative sittings. The Petitioner, in antecedent iterations, engendered egregious disruptions concomitant with prior sanction. Ergo, the custodians of order foresee Sisyphean exertions in reining the convocation. Accordingly, dismissal of the instant petition is fervently canvassed.

5. By way of subordinate submission, the learned Government Pleader contends that, in the event this Court is inclined to gr
