1. Heard Mohd. Irfan Siddiqui, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri G.D. Bhatt, learned AGA for the State. 2. By means of this petition the petitioner has prayed following relief :
"i. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus commending the opposite parties thereby directing the opposite party no. 2 to pay the compensation to petitioner under the Uttar Pradesh Rani Lakshmi Bai Mahila Samman Kosh Rules 2015 in the interest of Justice. ii. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus commending the opposite parties thereby directing the opposite parties recommend the case of the petitioner, who is victim of rape and was also minor for the release of the payment under the Uttar Pradesh Rani Lakshmi Bai Mahila Samman Kosh Rules 2015 in the interest of Justice."
3. At the very outset Sri Bhatt has produced the copy of the instruction letter dated 14.8.2025 provided by one Sri Rakesh Kumar, District Probation Officer, / Member Secretary, District Governing Council, U.P. Rajya Raxmi Bai Mahila Evam Bal Samman Kosh, Ambedkar Nagar addressing to the Additional A.G.A. indicating therein that the required exercise in terms of the aforesaid prayer has already been undertaken and the necessary medical report is awaited. Such medical report has not been uploaded till date. Therefore, as soon as those necessary formalities are completed the grievance of the petitioner would be redressed. The aforesaid instructions are taken on record. 4. In the wake of the aforesaid development we do not find any good reason to keep this petition pending any longer, therefore, this writ petition is disposed of finally at the admission stage. 5. Though there is no dispute that it is a beneficiary scheme, Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the
consent of the parties we dispose of this case as no useful purpose will be served to keep the petition pending and call for counter affidavit. 6.
The Rani Laxmi Bai Mahila Evam Bal Samman Kosh inter alia provides to ensure monetary, medical relief, including reconstructive surgeries to women/girl child who are victims of heinous crimes, as well as educational assistance to the victims and their minor children and to provide medical and educational assistance for women/girl child who may not be directly victims of heinous crimes but require critical social and economic empowerment. 7. There is no dispute that it is a beneficiary Scheme, therefore, any delay of disbursing the sanctioned amount to the beneficiary is against the very purpose of the said Scheme. There is no explanation for delay of about more than eight months in disbursement. 8. Therefore, we dispose of the present writ petition with the direction to the Special Secretary of Women and Children Welfare Department, Fund Management Unit, Rani Laxmi Bai Mahila Samman Kosh, Room No.413, 4th Floor, Yojna Bhawan, Sarojni Naidu Marg, Lucknow, U.P. (e-mail address -upmahilasammankosh@gmail.com) to ensure the disbursement of sanctioned amount within a period of two weeks from the date of certified copy of this order is placed before him. .
