The writ petition has been preferred against the respondents contending that the respondents have flouted the Jawahar Well Scheme. According to the petitioner, she belongs to the Scheduled Caste. She has not been allotted a well although she is covered by the aforesaid Scheme. She contends that the Zilla Parishad has not calculated the quota reserved for the backward classes for allotment of wells, correctly, thus leading to inequitable distribution (2) WP4393-10 of wells. 2. We have perused the affidavit of the Zilla Parishad which indicates that the wells are allotted only after the Zilla Parishad ascertains the category to which each beneficiary belongs. The affidavit indicates that out of the total 86 Jawahar wells, 23 wells have been sanctioned for ladies as beneficiaries. 18 wells have been reserved for the backward classes. Out of these 18 wells, the distribution for each of the backward classes is made as per the policy laid down by Government. 20% of the quota reserved for backward classes is to be allotted to the Scheduled Castes. The petitioner was not allotted a well since it was not recommended by the District Level Committee. The petitioner has not alleged any malafides against the District Level Committee. All that the petitioner has stated in the petition is that the proportionate allotment has not been made in accordance with the policy. 3. We have considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and in our opinion, (3) WP4393-10 the grievance of the petitioner is not substantiated in the petition. The petition is rejected. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.] npj/wp4393-10
