HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.25547 OF 2008 And CONTEMPT CASE No.391 OF 2010 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner in the Writ Petition was with regard to the inaction of the respondent-A.P. Scheduled Castes Cooperative Finance Corporation Limited, Hyderabad, in granting him a tractor loan, though his name was included in the select list prepared under the National Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation (NSFDC) Scheme. This Court, by order dated 27.11.2008, directed the respondent-Corporation to grant the subject loan to the petitioner. Alleging violation of the said order, C.C.No.391 of 2010 was instituted. With the consent of the learned counsel appearing for both the parties, the main cases are taken up for disposal. The additional counter filed on behalf of the respondent- Corporation demonstrates that the Scheduled Castes Action Plan 2006-07 (NSFDC Scheme) with an outlay of Rs.60.00 lakhs was sanctioned for providing financial assistance by way of self- employment to the members of the Scheduled Castes. Out of 1543 candidates who applied for loan facilities under the said scheme, only 100 were selected on the basis of the higher marks secured by them under the stipulated selection criteria. However, only 63 of the 100 beneficiaries submitted the required documentation and the remaining 37 beneficiaries had to be excluded on this count. To fill up this shortfall, the respondent-Corporation prepared a second select list of 48 wait-listed candidates. The petitioner figured in the said list at Sl.No.43 basing on his total marks. It is further stated that the amount released towards the NSFDC Scheme was exhausted before the petitioner’s case could come up for consideration. Thus, no loan facilities can be sanctioned under the NSFDC Scheme as on date. It is however stated that from 01.04.2008 onwards, the respondent-Corporation, instead of extending loan facilities, started providing 50% subsidy on the unit cost (not exceeding Rs.30,000/-) in accordance with G.O.Ms.No.127, Social Welfare (SCP-I) Department, dated 01.07.2008, and that if the petitioner came forward with the requisite proposal, the respondent-Corporation would provide the subsidy, subject to a maximum of Rs.30,000/-, as per the above norms. In that view of the matter, as the scheme under which the petitioner sought relief in the Writ Petition has already been wound up and the respondent-Corporation is willing to offer him the subsidy as per the prevailing norms, the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the respondent- Corporation with the necessary proposal for availing the subsidy provided by the respondent-Corporation as per G.O.Ms.No.127 dated 01.07.2008, subject to a maximum of Rs.30,000/-. Upon such application being made by the petitioner, the respondent- Corporation shall consider the same in accordance with the norms. In the light of the aforesaid developments, there is no wilful disobedience to the order passed by this Court warranting exercise of contempt jurisdiction. The Contempt Case is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. SANJAY KUMAR, J. Date:06.04.2011 Usd
