IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15636 of 2010 Ranjan sinha, son of Late Ishwari Prasad Singh, Resident of Police Line Road, P.S. Rampur, District-Gaya… Petitioner Versus 1. Bihar State Financial Corporation through its Managing Director, Fraser Road, Patna 2. Managing Director, Bihar State Financial Corporation Fraser Road, Patna 3. Branch Manager, Bihar State Financial Corporation, Gaya Branch, Gaya. ……………… Respondents ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Ambar Nath Banerjee, Advocate For the BSFC:- Mr. Girijesh Kumar, Advocate. ------------ 2. 23.9.2010 The only prayer of the petitioner in the writ petition is to direct the respondent-authorities of the Bihar State Financial Corporation to give him the application form of the One-Time Settlement Scheme, 2009 which has been floated by the Corporation for which the last date is 15.11.2010. The petitioner is the original promoter of the unit known as M/s. Universal Tu-Bend Industries situated at Police Line Road, Gaya, for which he had been sanctioned and disbursed a loan of Rs. 16 lakhs on 19.2.1987 by the respondent-Corporation. The stand of the respondent-Corporation is that the unit of the petitioner has been sold and thus third party rights have come into being. 2 This Court fails to understand how the sale of the unit can debar the petitioner from applying under the OTS Scheme, 2009. Various categories of persons have been stated to be eligible under the said scheme and the petitioner will surely come under one or other of the four categories enumerated therein. That being the situation, the petitioner cannot be prevented from applying under the OTS Scheme. The writ application is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the authorities of the respondent- Corporation to issue the application form under the OTS Scheme, 2009 to the petitioner forthwith and if the petitioner applies under the said Scheme within the time granted therein, then the same shall be considered and disposed of by the respondent-authorities in accordance with law. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any view on the merits of the case of the petitioner. S.Pandey ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
