The present writ petition is filed to declare the action of the respondents in not considering the applications of the Members of the Petitioner Society under VELUGU NORMS, as illegal, arbitrary. 3. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondents 2 and 3 contended that the Central Government will release certain funds for the Scheme floated by the respondents 2 and 3 and the amounts will be allotted to the members, considering their cases in accordance with law and the same is not in dispute. According to him, no additional allocation of funds, for Schemes of Kurnool District under National Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation’s Employment Scheme, were allotted in the years 2003 and 2004. He further contended that whenever the funds are allotted by the Central Government, the same will be allotted to the eligible Members of the petitioners’ society, on considering their applications. 4 . On the other hand, the learned counsel for the petitioner-society contended that some of the members of the petitioner-society have already made their applications to the respondents 2 and 3 and therefore, a direction may be given to the respondents 2 and 3 to consider the said applications as and when allotment is made. 5. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case, a direction is given to the respondents 2 and 3 to consider the allotment of funds to the members of the petitioner-society, whenever respondents 2 and 3 receive the funds from the Central Government, as per the guidelines of the scheme for allotment of funds. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ December 10, 2004 KVR TO 1 The Managing Director, National Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation, 8, Balaji Estate, Gutu Revidas Marg, Kalkaji, New Delhi 110 019 2 The Managing Director, A.P.Scheduled Castes Cooperative Finance Corporation Ltd., 5th Floor, Telugu Samakshema Bhawan, Masab Tank, Hyderabad-500 028. 3 The Executive Director, District Scheduled Castes Service Cooperative Society, "B" Camp, Kurnool. 4 The District Collector, Kurnool District, Kurnool. 5 Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Koilkuntla Mandal, Koilkuntla, Kurnool District. 6 Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Sanjamala Mandal, Sanjamala , Kurnool District. 7 Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Kolimigundla Mandal, Kolimigundla, Kurnool District. 8 Two C.D.
