For Petitioner : Mr.P.Prabhakaran For R - 1 : Mr.K.P.Krishnadoss Government Advocate. O R D E R The petitioner has come up with the above writ petition seeking a direction to the State Bank of India to sanction Diary loan to the petitioner for the establishment of a Diary Farm. 2. Heard Mr.P.Prabhakaran, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr.K.P.Krishnadoss, learned Government Advocate takes notice for the first respondent. 3. Though the question of sanction of educational loans to students is being considered by this Court in various writ petitions https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, I do not think that a writ petition seeking a direction to the Bank to sanction an industrial loan for the purpose of establishing a Diary Farm can be entertained. The sanction of loan is in the realm of a contract and it falls within the domain of being a commercial transaction. Therefore, in such matters, the Court has no jurisdiction to issue a writ. Hence, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs.
