Judicial review allows directive for expeditious consideration of appeals in administrative decisions.

JUDGMENT

This writ petition is filed seeking the following reliefs:

“i. call for records leading to Ext.P2 and issue a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing Ext.P2.

ii. Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the 1^st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 afresh in view of Ext.P4, within such time as may be fixed by this Hon’ble Court.

iii. issue such other orders, writs or directions as are deemed fit by this Hon’ble Court.

iv. award cost of this proceedings to the petitioner. v. dispense with filing of the translation of vernacular documents produced as Exhibits in the writ petition.”[SIC]

2. Admittedly, Ext.P2 order is an appealable order. Now, the petitioner filed an appeal against Ext.P2 before the 3^rd respondent as evident by Ext.P10. If that be the case, I think there can be a direction to the 3^rd respondent to consider Ext.P10 appeal within a time frame.

Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of in the following manner:

1. The 3^rd respondent is directed to consider Ext.P10, if it is received and pending as on today, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.

2. The petitioner will produce a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of this Writ Petition with exhibits before the 3^rd respondent for compliance.
