Counsel for the Petitioner : MR.R.TIMMA REDDY, Advocate. Counsel for the Respondents : GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE The Court made the following : O R D E R : The Rayalaseema Srikrishnadevaraya Rural Development Society, Noonepally, Nandyal Mandal, Kurnool District, is the petitioner herein. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though a scheme was formulated known as Bamboo Basket Making Scheme for the welfare of the tribal people and though the District Collector, Kurnool, the first respondent herein, released subsidy amount of Rs.13,68,000/- and margin money of Rs.6,84,000/- towards the scheme to the second respondent, the scheme has not been implemented since 2001. Be it also noted that this Court in W.P.No.20612 of 2001, dated 14-10-2003 directed the District Collector to pass appropriate orders. It appears, the District Collector passed orders on 17-5-2004 directing the second respondent to ground Bamboo Basket Making Scheme and invite tenders from the Bamboo suppliers. Therefore, a mandamus is sought directing the second respondent to implement the scheme. As rightly pointed out by the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare, in para-9 of the affidavit accompanying the writ petition, the petitioner states that the second respondent constituted a Tender Committee which met on 8-6-2004 and decided to invite the tenders, and accordingly, tenders were also invited. If that be the case, there cannot be any difficulty in implementing the scheme in right earnestness keeping in view the observations made by this Court in the earlier writ petition and also having regard to the fact that the amount has already been released. Respondents would do well to implement the scheme immediately. The writ petition, with the above observations, is disposed of. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J.) Dt. 04-08-2004. Msr.
