Monirul Hoque @ Mairul Haque
Vs.
The State of W.B. & Ors.
Mr. Nikhil Kumar Gupta …for the petitioner.
Mr. Noni Gopal Chakraborty Ms. Priyanka Shukla Ms. Sweta Singh
…for the State.
Affidavit of service filed by the petitioner and report submitted by the State are taken on record.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a beneficiary under the Prodhan Mantri Awas Yojana Scheme. Though fund was sanctioned in his favour under the said scheme, it was wrongly remitted to the private respondent. No fund was allocated to the petitioner despite several requests. The petitioner approached this Court in a writ petition being WPA 15253 of 2025 seeking disbursal of fund. By an order passed on 22nd December, 2025 a co- ordinate Bench of this Court
directed the Block Development Officer, Rampurhat-II to take a reasoned decision in the matter within a stipulated time frame. Pursuant thereto, the Block Development Officer granted opportunity of hearing to both the parties and held that proposal for house construction assistance would be sent for the petitioner to the appropriate authority if he was
2 found suitable for any benefit after survey. Necessary steps were proposed to be taken against the private respondent for refund of the amount wrongly remitted to him.
Learned counsel submits that that despite such
order, no fund has been allocated in his favour till date. It appears from the report submitted by the State and is also submitted by the learned counsel for the State, on instruction, that the amount wrongly remitted in favour of the private respondent has been recovered and the concerned authority shall disburse the requisite fund in favour of the petitioner within two working days of the petitioner providing bank details etc. to the authority. The petitioner undertakes to provide such details to the authority by tomorrow, that is, on 9th September, 2026. The Block Development Officer is directed to disburse the requisite fund in favour of the petitioner as undertaken. No fruitful purpose shall be served in keeping the writ petition pending. The same is disposed of. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit is invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
