Feeling aggrieved against the alleged inaction on the part of respondent authorities, the petitioner has approached this Court, by way of instant writ petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, seeking a writ in the nature of Mandamus.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that when the grievance of the petitioner was not being redressed by the respondent authorities, she finally approached respondent No.2 by way of legal notice dated 27.5.2013 (Annexure P-4), which was supplemented by another notice dated 15.7.2013 (Annexure P-5) but the same are also pending decision. He further submits that the petitioner will be satisfied in case respondent No. 2 is directed to consider and decide her legal notice, keeping in view the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, passed in the case of Subrata Sen and others Vs. Union of India and others, (2001) 8 SCC 71 (Annexure P- Kumar Amit 6) and within a reasonable time.
