IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7602 of 2010 MITHLESH KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 30.4.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties Somebody saddled with the responsibility of forwarding applications of eligible candidates like the petitioner for grant of loan under Prime Minister Employment Guarantee Programme (PMEGP) scheme, even does not know as to which is the area and which is the Bank the applications have to be forwarded. The concerned authority is the General Manager, District Industry Centre, Patna. Petitioner is being referred to all wrong branches and obviously the concerned Bank is not willing to oblige because the application of the petitioner does not fall within the service area of the said Bank. This fact stands corroborated by the recent communication dated 25.3.2010 made by the Punjab National Bank to the present petitioner. According to the Punjab National Bank the service area for the petitioner would be State Bank of India Lai at Bihta as per their information. Whether the action of the General Manager is intentional or because of lack of knowledge this Court cannot certify at this stage nor would it like to investigate such a matter looking at the order which is going to be passed in the case. Let the General Manager, District Industry Centre, Patna forward the application of the petitioner to the concerned - 2 - bank within two weeks from the date of production or communication of a copy of this order after due verification. If the wrong recommendation is made this time by the General Manager, the Court will presume mischief on his part and there may be an occasion to deal with if the litigant comes to this Court a second time in this regard. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
