Dear Sir,
I submit that the subject matter of this petition is the impugned Schedule in the Hindu
Succession Act, 1956, the constitutional validity of which is under challenge in this petition.
To the best of the knowledge and information of the Petitioner there is no judicial decision
made on the validity of the impugned Schedule. Hence this Petition is maintainable.
I humbly submit that the present petition is maintainable on the following additional
grounds and facts:
1. In the earlier Writ Petition in WP(C) 536 of 2022 this Honourable Court had
dismissed it only on the ground that “mandamus cannot be issued to the
Legislature” to implement the recommendation of the 204th Report of the Law
Commission of India, or to enact or amend a statute. The dismissal was based
on a mere technicality, and not on the merits of the case. Hence this instant
petition is not hit by res judicata.
3. The main prayer in the earlier Writ Petition in WP(C) 536 of 2022 before this
Honourable Court was praying for Writ of Mandamus, while the main prayers
before the Honourable Madurai Bench of Madras High Court in WP (MD) SR
NO 4586 of 2023 as well as this instant petition a prayer for issuing Writ of
Declaration. This significant and impactful difference was not considered by
the Honourable Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, and thus erred in
rejecting the maintainability. Therefore the rejection is no bar for this petition.
Thus it is evident that the earlier orders were not on the merits but only on limited
technicality, and hence subject matter is open for agitation before this Honourable Court.
Hence, given the above facts, grounds and circumstances the instant petition is
maintainable. I humbly request you to please kindly clear/remove the particular Defect,
please.
Furthermore, I submit that I have addressed the other defects and uploaded the
required, relevant and appropriate documents/files towards curing those defects. I hope these
documents/files will address the Defect Notified and hence would be removed, please.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully
S. Venkatesh
