It is the admitted position that the validity period of the OTS expired on 31/12/2007 and if that be so, the Bank cannot be directed to extend the benefit of a non existing scheme at this distance fo time. Needless to say that if Bank volunteers to give the OTS benefit, this judgment will not stand in the way. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
