2. The petitioner who claims to be a farmer and is stated to have availed a loan from OSFDC Bank for purchasing a Tractor for use for agricultural purposes. By filing the present writ petition he is seeking for waiving of the loan under the Agriculture Debt Waiver and Debt Relief Scheme, 2008. Challenge has also been laid to the notice issued under the Orissa Public Demands Recovery Act, 1962 for recovering of the outstanding amount against the aforesaid loan to the tune of Rs.1,29,215/- vide notice dated 24.02.2011. It appears that the petitioner not being eligible under the aforesaid Scheme of 2008 has been denied the benefit of waiver.
