HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.23540 of 2010 Date : 9-11-2010 Between : T.Saraswati w/o.T.V.S. Narayana .. Petitioner And The District Collector, Ongole, Prakasam District. .. Respondent Counsel for petitioner : Sri V.Mallik Counsel for respondent : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioner, whose unfortunate daughter appears to be a mentally disabled child, knocked at the doors of the respondent for sanction of pension for disabled by way of representation dated 22-4- 2010. The grievance of the petitioner, which, in my opinion, is justifiable, is that the respondent has not been disposing of the said representation. At the hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submitted that the representation of the petitioner is pending with the respondent. In my opinion, the respondent ought not to have kept the application pending for this long a time having regard to the nature of the claim made by the petitioner. Delay in disposal of such claims frustrates the purpose for which the State evolves the welfare schemes to protect the interests of disabled and under-privileged people of the society. The respondent is therefore directed to consider the petitioner’s representation in the light of G.O.Ms.No.89, PR & RD (RD.II) Department, dated 29-3-2006 and G.O.Ms.No.454, PR & RD (RD.II) Department, dated 14-11-2008 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the result to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of with the above directions. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.30124/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 9-11-2010 AM
