At their request the Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission. A reference is made by the petitioners to Memo dated 07.10.1983 and G.O.Ms.No.52 dated 18.03.2000 whereunder societies consisting of members belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have been exempted from the requirement of payment of charges for obtaining tender schedules and the Earnest Money Deposit. It is asserted that both these proceedings continue to remain in force as on date. Sri S.Nageswar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent, would fairly state that both the proceedings aforementioned continue to remain in force as on date; and that the petitioners are entitled for exemption from payment of charges for obtaining the tender schedules and towards the Earnest Money Deposit. In the light of the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent- Municipality to furnish tender schedules to the petitioners free of cost and receive their tenders without insisting on their furnishing Earnest Money Deposit, in as much as all the three petitioners belong to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J 27th April 2010 Note: Office to issue operative portion by wire at parties costs B/o CVRK
