ORDER
This petition has been filed for issuance of Writ of Mandamus, directing the 2nd respondent herein to issue Non Traceable certificate to the petitioner based on his complaint dt.07.06.2026 and online complaint dt.11.07.2026 within a time frame as stipulated by this Court.
2. Mr.D.Rajaboopathy, learned Government Advocate, (Crl. Side) takes notice for the respondents. Heard the counsel on either side and perused the records.
3. The grievance of the petitioner is that a representation was submitted to the respondent police seeking the issuance of a Non-Traceable Certificate in respect of a missing original document. Though the respondent police received the petitioner's representation, the same remains pending without any final decision or consideration.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it would suffice if a direction is issued to the respondent to consider and dispose of the petitioner's representation within a stipulated time frame.
5. Taking into consideration the limited scope of the prayer, and without going into the merits of the case, the respondent is directed to consider the petitioner's representation on merits and pass appropriate orders regarding the issuance of the Non-Traceable Certificate in accordance with the law, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and issue Non-Traceable Certificate, if necessary, forthwith.
6. With the above direction, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. 17.09.2026 TM To
1. The Superintendent of Police Pudukkottai District.
2. The Inspector of Police Aadhanakottai Police Station Pudukottai District.
