THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 1778 of 2008 ORDER: In this Writ Petition, the petitioner, which is styled as Swamy Podupu Sangham, seeks Writ of Mandamus to direct the first respondent to consider and dispose of the representation dated 4-1- 2008 in accordance with the welfare schemes notified by the Government in G.O.Ms.No. 152, dated 4-5-2005. The petitioner-sangham consisting of eleven members, states that they are involved in the basket making industry by obtaining loan from the bank. The Government has issued G.O.Ms.No. 152, dated 4- 5-2005 for reimbursement of interest charged by the bank over and above 3% per annum for the loans obtained by the Self Help Groups. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though the petitioner has submitted representation on 4-1-2005, the same is not being considered by the respondents. When the matter had come up for admission on 1-2-2008, the same was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader to obtain instructions in the matter. To day, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents that the application submitted by the petitioner is still pending consideration. As much as the only relief sought by the petitioner is for consideration of their application for reimbursement of interest, I dispose of the Writ Petition, directing the first respondent to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner-Sangham dated 4-1- 2008 for reimbursement of interest in terms of G.O.Ms.No. 152, dated 4-5-2005. It is made clear that consideration of the application of the petitioner is on its own merits, and, as per the schemes notified by the Government. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY DATE: 8-2-2008 Note: CC in two days (BO) Msnr.
