THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.22163 OF 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents in not taking the decision on representation dated 29.05.2010 of the petitioner association in the light of letter and spirit of Clause 3.2 of Government of India decision on Socio-economic survey in respect of displaced persons of Telugu Ganga Project, as arbitrary and illegal and consequently to direct the respondents to pay the margin money out of the unspent of Rs.4.75 crores under civic amenities component for release of loans by the bankers to the displaced families to extend the anti-poverty alleviation programme undertaken by the State Government through the various agencies to the displaced families under SPVB Reservoir under Telugu Ganga Project. 2. In the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition it is stated that the State Government and its agencies have been taking several anti- poverty alleviation programmes such as financial and other programmes undertaken by SC, ST & BC Corporation. Programmes taken up by the State Financial Corporation, Chief Ministers Employment Yojana, Prime Ministers Rojgar Yojana, NABARD etc. and such anti poverty programmes are to be extended to the displaced families as per the Rehabilitation Master Plan (RMP) recommenced by the State Government and accepted by Central Government vide G.O.Ms.No.58, dated 01.06.1996. An amount of Rs.11.73 crores was allocated under G.O.Ms.No.58, dated 01.06.1996 and it was sub-divided into different component parts. The R.M.P. scheme included undertaking socio economic survey of Project affected persons of Telugu Ganga Project under Annexure –IX thereof and one of the terms of reference under Clause 5.1(n) was to identify various self employment income generating government schemes. Therefore, it is the duty of the respondents to link the self employment income generating government schemes for the economic rehabilitation of land oustees as a part of Anti-poverty alleviation schemes. As per the counter affidavit averments in W.P.No.15204 of 2003, the respondents have conducted meeting with the bankers for linking and extending the schemes to the Project affected families under Telugu Ganga Project but they are not proceeding further in executing the said economic rehabilitation on the ground that the banks were not coming forward to provide the loans unless the margin money is paid by the executing agencies. The petitioner association made representation, dated 29.05.2010 to respondent No.3 requesting to arrange the required margin money under the concerned schemes out of the existing unspent project funds of Rs.4.75 crores under civic amenities component with the respondents. The respondents have promised to look into it but they have not been taking any decision and action thereupon resulting in grave hardship and miscarriage of justice and frustration of economic rehabilitation of the displaced persons under Telugu Ganga Project as per the State Government policy to restore the displaced persons. Hence, the Writ Petition. 3. Respondent No.6 filed counter affidavit stating that the anti- poverty alleviation programmes of the State Government are to be extended to the displaced families of various reservoirs under Telugu Ganga Project, which was approved by the State Government in G.O.Ms.No.58, dated 01.06.1996. A meeting was conducted with the bankers by the District Administration for linking and extending the above schemes to the Project affected the families to Telugu Ganga Project. The Executive Agencies like DRDA, S.C.Corporation, B.C.Corporation, Women’s Development Corporation have agreed to pay the margin money for this purpose as soon as necessary funds are received from the Government. The petitioner association made representation on 29.05.2010 to arrange the required margin money under the above discussed schemes out of the existing unspent project funds under civic amenities component. 4.
