The petitioner has come up with the present writ petition for a mandamus, directing the respondents to sanction educational loan by considering his loan application dated 08.09.2017 within a stipulated time as fixed by this Court. 2.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the son of the petitioner by name R.Karthick joined the Tambov State University, Russia in the medical course for the Academic Year 2017-18 and paid Rs.6,00,000/- towards the first year fee. Since the petitioner is a daily wage employee, he is unable to pay for his son's course fee for the subsequent years.
