A writ of mandamus may be issued to compel compliance with orders when prior authority directives are not implemented, but may be dismissed if compliance renders further direction unnecessary.

JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with the following prayers:

“a) issue a writ of mandamus directing the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P-4 as directed in Ext.P-8;

b) direct the 1st respondent to implement Ext.P-5 order as an interim order under section 133 of the Act;

c) dispense with filing of translation of vernacular documents;

and d) issue appropriate writ or order or direction this hon’ble court may deem fit and proper to the facts and circumstances of the case.” (SIC)

2. The main prayer in this writ petition is to implement Ext.P5 order. When this writ petition came up for consideration on 22.03.2024, this Court passed the following order:

“Admit. Government Pleader takes notice for respondents 1 and 3. Standing Counsel takes notice for the 2nd respondent. Issue urgent notice to the 4th respondent by speed post.

2. After going through Ext.P9, I am of the considered opinion that the same is to be kept in abeyance in the light of the order from the Session Court as evident from Ext.P8. Therefore, Ext.P9 is stayed for a period of four months. But, I make it clear that the Executive Magistrate/Sub Divisional Magistrate shall proceed forthwith as directed in Ext.P8 order.

The respondents are free to file counter affidavit and bring up the matter if there is any urgency. If any urgent memo is filed, the Registry will post this matter immediately.”

3. Now, the counsel appearing for the 4^th respondent submitted that the trees have already been cut and removed. If that be the case, no further direction is necessary in this case.

Recording the above submission, this Writ Petition is disposed of.
