It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been informed by the Electrical Executive Engineer, respondent no.4 that because he had been given the benefit of payment of arrears of Rs.3,99,200/- accumulated till April, 2008 in ten equal instalments, out of which the petitioner paid only four instalments and thereafter defaulted, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit of the Scheme and his application is not being accepted.
