Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner appears to have served the respondent-bank with a legal notice dated 26.5.2009 (Annexure P-2) seeking waiving off the loan taken by him, in accordance with the Agricultural Debt Waiver and Debt Relief Scheme, 2008 (for short 'the Scheme-2008), a copy of which has also been placed on record as Annexure P-1. It is alleged that no decision has been taken by the respondent-Bank so far on the petitioner's claim. In these circumstances, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's claim, as contained in the legal notice dated 26.5.2009 (Annexure P-2) C.W.P.No .17251 of 2010 2 served on his behalf and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 30, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
