G.VENKATA REDDY FOR MR.K.RATHANGA PANI REDDY Counsel for the Respondents:SMT.W.V.S.RAJESWARI This Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioners, who are the hirers of one bus each to the respondents, filed this writ petition feeling aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents in disposing of their representations, dated 26.06.2004 sent to the Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of respondent No.1 Corporation. The case of the petitioners is that for the reason of their not making available the hired buses within the stipulated time, penalties were imposed for the delay. According to the petitioners, the letters under which the time is stipulated were received with delay and therefore, the delayed supply of buses was bona fide and due to reasons beyond their control. On these grounds, the petitioners made representations to the Vice Chairman and Managing Director to waive the penalties imposed on them. No counter-affidavit is filed by the respondents. Though the learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation requested for further time for filing counter-affidavit, I find it not necessary to adjourn this case, because the petitioners have sought for an innocuous relief of directing the authorities concerned of respondent No.1 Corporation to dispose of their representations. Therefore, having regard to this prayer, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the Vice Chairman and Managing Director of respondent No.1 Corporation to dispose of representations, dated 26.06.2004 of the petitioners, if not already done, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.28934 of 2007 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 12th JUNE, 2009. kvni
