By this petition, the petitioner-Society seeks a direction to the respondent no.1 to grant special assistance in the form of grant-in-aid to the petitioner-Society for running the residential Ashram School for the Scheduled Tribes students at Mul, District Chandrapur with effect from 2002. On hearing the learned counsel for the parties, it appears that the relief sought by the petitioner-Society cannot be granted. Firstly, the petitioner-Society has not pointed out any right in the petitioner-Society to seek the grant-in-aid from the respondent no.1, to run the residential Ashram School. Also, the petitioner-Society has filed the writ petition belatedly on 13.12.2013 though the petitioner-Society had made a proposal to the respondent no.1 for seeking grant-in-aid, in the year 2002. It appears from the statements made on behalf of the respondent no.1 by the learned counsel that a Project Screening Committee was constituted in the year 2002-03 and the Project Screening Committee approved only 154 proposals out of 1147 proposals received in all. It appears that the proposal of the

WP463-14 petitioner-Society was not favourably considered though 154 other institutions were provided grant-in-aid. The petitionerSociety did not do anything in the matter for nearly eleven years except making representations to the respondent nos.1 and 2. In the circumstances of the case, the respondent no.1 cannot be directed to provide grant-in-aid to the petitioner-Society from the year 2002 for running the residential Ashram School. Since there is no merit in the writ petition, the same is dismissed with no order as to costs.
