PEDDI VIJAYBHASKAR Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR FINANCE PLANNING 2. GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE 3 The Court made the following order: Grievance of the petitioner in the present Writ Petition, is that respondent Nos.1 to 5 are not releasing the sanctioned amount of Rs.10,00,000/- for financial assistant of his son Mullagura Yashwanth Kumar under the scheme of ‘Videshi Vidya Deevana’ vide Application bearing ID No.OV2018121188 for studying the course of Master of Information Technology in Central Queensland University, Australia. 2. Today, when the matter came up for admission, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner, and acceded to, by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, that the subject matter of this Writ Petition is squarely covered by the order passed by this Court in Writ Petition No.28790 of 2023, dated 02.11.2023, wherein this Court held thus. “3. While making the above submissions, the learned counsel for the petitioner had also drawn the attention of this Court to the order of a learned Judge of this Court in W.P.No.21305 of 2023, dated 29.8.2023. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Social Welfare, on the basis of the communication dated 02.11.2023 addressed by the 3rd respondent, made his submissions. 4. As seen from the said communication, which is made part of the record, it is discernible that there is no dispute with regard to the petitioner’s son pursuing Post Graduation Course of Masters in Information Technology and Systems from the University of Tasmania, Australia. It would further appear that 4 the verification of documents was completed and the petitioner’s son is eligible for financial assistance, in view of the report submitted by the Vigilance and Enforcement Department. But it takes three months’ time for completing the process of making payment of the amount (for receipt of budget from the Government and for sanction of the amount). 5. This Court, considering the submissions made and the object of the Government in issuing the above referred Government Orders, is of the opinion that any unreasonable delay on the part of the respondent Authorities, is not just or tenable more particularly in the light of the averments made in Paragraph No.8 of the writ affidavit and results in irreparable prejudice to the petitioner. The grievance of the writ petitioner is well founded.” 3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader placed on record the Proceedings No.952/EBC-AOVN/2025-20 of the Managing Director of A.P. State Economically Backward Classes Welfare and Development Corporation, Vijayawada, dated 15.09.2025, wherein it is stated inter alia that sanction has been accorded for an amount of Rs.10,00,000/- to be transferred to the bank account of Sri Mullagura Yashwanth Kumar towards implementation of the ‘Ambedkar Overseas Vidya Nidhi’ (AOVN) scheme. The Directorate of Treasuries and Accounts, Vijayawada, has been requested to take further action for effecting the transfer of the sanctioned amount to the bank account of the student. The learned Assistant Government Pleader has requested a 5 period of three months for completion of the payment process and for submission of a compliance report to this Court. 4. Hence, in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Writ Petition is disposed of, with a direction to the respondents to release the financial assistance of Rs.10,00,000/- (Rupees ten lakhs only) to the son of the petitioner within a period of eight (8) weeks, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs As a sequel thereto, the miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed. ________________________ K.
