THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.17443 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in issuing the local scheduled certificates to the petitioners as illegal and arbitrary. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioners are poor and belong to Scheduled Tribe, Lambada Community, which was included in the Tribal Community in the year 1976. They are residents of Oootai thanda of Kothaguda Mandal, Warangal District, which falls within the scheduled area. Therefore, they have applied for Agency Certificate (local schedule tribe certificate) on 17.05.2010, 29.06.2010 and 17.05.2010 respectively, in a prescribed pro-forma, duly complying with all the requirements. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are not considering their applications and not issuing the certificates even though the brother of the first petitioner was issued such certificate. When the matter was taken up on 21.07.2010, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Social Welfare sought time for getting instructions and therefore, the matter was adjourned for two weeks. Even today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Social Welfare failed to obtain instructions. In view of the same and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that a direction to the respondents to consider the representations of the petitioners would suffice the redressal of the grievance of the petitioners. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Social Welfare also did not oppose for such a direction. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representations dated 17.05.2010, 29.06.2010 and 17.05.2010 respectively submitted by the petitioners and to pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _______________________ N.V. RAMANA, J 04th August, 2010 GHN
