O R D E R

Notice to the respondents is dispensed with in view of nature of the order to be passed by this Court.

2. It is the grievance of the petitioner that his application dated 04.07.2018 seeking to sanction loan amount of Rs.3,00,000/- from his E.P.F.Account, has not been considered by the respondents till date and therefore, he has filed the present writ petition.

3. 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 respondents are duty bound to consider the same in https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

one way or the other. Non-consideration of the same would amount to dereliction of ordinary duties of their office and as such, this Court would be justified in invoking its powers conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct them to consider the petitioner's application within a stipulated time.

4. In view of the limited prayer sought for in this writ petition, there shall be a direction to the first respondent to consider the petitioner's application dated 04.07.2018 on its own merits and take further action in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

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