The grievance of the petitioner now is that the petitioner has not received the exemption / grant in education fee. 5. So far as the aforesaid grievance is concerned, in paragraph No.8 of the counter-affidavit, the State has taken a specific stand that no application has been received from the petitioner for granting of exemption in the education fee. 6. Considering the aforesaid specific stand taken by the State, I direct the petitioner to approach the Deputy Commissioner, Simdega by filing an appropriate application, claiming exemption in the education fees. Once the same is filed, it will be considered by the Deputy Commissioner, Simdega strictly, as per the scheme floated for that purpose and for the benefit of the petitioner and thereafter, will pass an appropriate order. If it is found that the petitioner is entitled for the benefit, the same will be extended to the petitioner. 7. The petitioner should file an application within four weeks from today and the decision should be taken within eight weeks thereafter, and the benefit if payable, should be granted to the petitioner, within two weeks thereafter. 8. With the aforesaid observations, this writ petition stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 11.06.2026 S.K.D/CP-2 Uploaded on 15.06.2026
