Mr.Pala Ramasamy

O R D E R

Mr.Pala Ramasamy, learned counsel, takes notice for the respondent.

2. By consent of both parties, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself.

3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that her application submitted through on-line seeking for educational loan to pursue B.Sc., (Nursing) in Navaneetham School of Nursing, Bangalore, has not been considered by the respondent till date and therefore, she has filed the present writ petition.

4. This Court has not expressed any of its view with regard to the merits of the application made by the petitioner. It is needless to point out that whenever an application of this nature is made, the respondent is duty bound to consider the same in one way or the other. Non-consideration of the same would amount to dereliction of ordinary duties of his office and as such, this Court would be justified in invoking its powers conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct him to consider the petitioner's application within a stipulated time. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

5. In view of the limited prayer sought for in this writ petition, there shall be a direction to the respondent to consider

the petitioner's application submitted through on-line seeking for educational loan on its own merits and take further action in accordance with law, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

6. With the above directions, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
