Anil Kumar Agarwal vs State Of Uttar Pradesh And Anr. on 11 March, 1991
In Smt. Asha Keshaorav Bhoshle v. Union of India, AIR 1986 SC 283 : (1986 Cri LJ 177) similar question arose, in this case two representations were made, one by the Secretary Khed Taluka Martha Sewa Sangh and the other by the petitioner and on considering the contents thereof the Sangh's representation was disposed of which was the first one and, therefore, the disposal of the second representation which was made by the petitioner on the same score held that the delay in disposing of that representation did not really prejudice the detenu's case. In this case even though the petitioner made second representation the Supreme Court held the first representation to be valid and did not reject the said representation on the ground of Article 22(5) of the Constitution that it is only the petitioner's representation to be considered.
