No.8446 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 25th day of May, 2009 J U D G M E N T The prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct the respondent Bank to extend the benefit of the Agricultural Debt Waiver and Debt Relief Scheme, 2008 announced by the Government of India. On serving of notice, the learned counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent Bank informs that the petitioner has not availed of any loan. It is also stated that the petitioner is not even a surety to any of the loans availed of by anybody else from the respondent Bank. If that be so, the petitioner cannot have any liability to the Bank and consequently, the petitioner also cannot seek benefit of the Scheme referred to above. The writ petition is, therefore, closed recording the submission made on behalf of the 3rd respondent Bank. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
