The respondents, by way of status report have placed on record the sanction order dated 30.12.2025, whereby, an amount of ₹25,000/- has been credited to the petitioner’s account. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, however, submits that the petitioner is entitled to additional amount to the extent of ₹2,50,000/-. 4. The prayer in the instant writ petition is only for consideration of petitioner’s application, and the same has already been accorded. If the petitioner is not satisfied with the quantum of the amount which has been approved, the petitioner will have to take out the fresh proceedings in accordance with law. 5. Even otherwise, as of now, there does not appear to be any material available on record which would prima facie indicate that the petitioner is entitled to an additional amount of ₹2,50,000/-. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner to justify his claim in the appropriate proceedings. 6. With these observations, the petition stands disposed of. CONT.CAS(C) 1902/2025 7.
