KATAKEY Heard Mr. K Paul, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. UK Goswami, learned Standing Counsel, Education Department appearing for all the r espondents. As agreed to by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, t he writ petition is taken up for disposal at the motion stage itself. The petitioners, by the present petition, have prayed for a dire ction to the respondent authorities to consider their cases for grant of financi al assistance in terms of the Scheme formulated by the Government of Assam. Acc ording to the petitioners, on the earlier occasion, their cases were not conside red for which they have the apprehension that in this financial year also their cases may not be considered, though they are entitled to such financial assistan ce.

If the petitioners apply for grant of such financial assistance and they come within the zone of consideration and also fulfill the requirement stipulated in the Scheme formulated by the Government of Assam, thei r cases shall definitely be considered by the respondent authorities for providi ng the financial assistance for the year 2010-2011. Such consideration is to be made only in the event that their names are forwarded by the authority concerne d. While doing so, the respondent authorities shall also bear in mind the decis ion of this Court in Kanaklata Girls’ ME School & Ors. -Vs- State of Assam & Ors . reported in 2007 (3) GLT 333. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No cost.
