1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 489 OF 2006 Alif Autoloom Development Co-operative Societies Ltd. ...Petitioner Versus State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents. Mr. S.K. Mali for the Petitioner Mr. P.I. Khemani, Assistant Government Pleader, for Respondents No. 1 to 3. CORAM: V.G. PALSHIKAR, Ag.C.J., & SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 2006. P.C.:- 1. By this petition, the petitioner has made a prayer that the Government of Maharashtra be mandated to recommend the petitioner's name for grant of financial assistance under the scheme floated by National Textile Development Corporation. 2. There is no vested right to such grant of financial assistance to any society. It is a scheme under which 2 societies, which deserve such assistance, are to be given financial assistance. It cannot be claimed as a matter of right. 3. A similar writ petition was filed in this Court in which this Court, after taking into consideration the various submissions, observed that the State should examine the proposals pending and if, on such inquiry, it is found that the societies do not have necessary financial strength in terms of the policy, then, insofar as those societies are concerned, money should not be released until further orders. It is obvious from the aforesaid order of this Court that the grant of financial assistance is a matter of discretion to be soundly exercised by the State. There is nothing on record of this petition to show that there is, in any manner, arbitrariness in recommending 30 societies for such assistance. 4. There is, therefore, no substance in this petition. It is dismissed.
