Urugonda Venkateswarlu v. The District Collector,
HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY Writ Petition No. 40224 of 2012 ORDER :
This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the first respondent in not considering the representation dated 22.08.2012 submitted by the petitioners for releasing the amounts for the purpose of Auto Trolleys under the Swarna Jayanthi Gram Swarajgari Yojana ( for short 'SGSY' Scheme ), in spite of repeated requests.
It is the case of the petitioner that SGSY Scheme was introduced by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in the year 1998 with a view to help the Backward Class Community farmers and also for the upliftment of the down trodden farmers and under the said scheme, the total amount spent for digging the borewell and purchase of Auto Trolleys were given on subsidy by the 2nd respondent. All the petitioners have applied to the 3rd respondent corporation, for sanction of financial assistance for purchase of Auto Trolleys for the purpose of doing cultivation in their agricultural lands, who in turn forwarded the same to the 1st respondent. In spite of submitting representations on 18.10.2003, 17.11.2003 and finally on 22.08.
2012 to the first respondent requesting him to release the amounts for the purpose of purchasing auto trolleys under the SGSY Scheme, the first respondent failed to take any action. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. Now counter affidavit is filed by the 2nd respondent stating that the scheme for release of amounts for the purpose of purchase of auto trolleys is not in existence.
Heard both sides.
On 26.06.2015, when the matter came up for hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners states that the scheme is in existence and sought time to file reply and also produce necessary documents showing that the scheme is in
existence. In spite of granting time till today, the learned counsel for the petitioners failed to file any reply to the counter affidavit as well as produce any documents showing that the alleged scheme is in existence. In view of the above, when once the alleged scheme is not in existence, the question of granting mandamus directing the respondents to release the amounts for the purpose of purchase of auto trolleys does not arise. As such, the writ petition devoid of merits.
Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous applications, if any pending in this Writ Petition, shall stand closed.
