SIRI JAGAN, J.\n             --------------------------------------------\n              W.P.(C)NOs. 12297,13576 OF 2006\n             --------------------------------------------\n         DATED THIS THE 21st DAY OF AUGUST, 2007\n\n                            JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n
     The petitioner is a private limited Company engaged in the<\/p>\n
business of manufacturing garments. In the year 2002-03, the Central<\/p>\n
Government formulated a scheme for development of enterprises for<\/p>\n
educated women just above the poverty line.        An amount of Rs.3<\/p>\n
crores have been sanctioned and made over to the State Government<\/p>\n
for this purpose. The intention behind the scheme is to set up an<\/p>\n
apparel park with common facilities which are to be made use of by<\/p>\n
small SSI units engaged in the manufacture of garments. Originally<\/p>\n
the Kottayam Municipality agreed to provide land for the setting up of<\/p>\n
the apparel park. Later on they withdrew from the offer. In the said<\/p>\n
circumstances, the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06 came forward to<\/p>\n
set up the apparel park with the financial assistance offered as above.<\/p>\n
However, among the members of the Company difference of opinion<\/p>\n
arose, as a result of which some of the members formed two other<\/p>\n
companies. These three companies vied with each other for setting up<\/p>\n
of the park and ultimately by Ext.P4 order in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06, the<\/p>\n
Government formulated the modalities for implementation of the<\/p>\n
W.P.(c)No.12297 \/06& Con.case         2<\/span><\/p>\n
Central Government scheme.         It appears that on the basis of<\/p>\n
Ext.P4, the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.13576\/06 came forward to set<\/p>\n
up the park in accordance with Ext.P4, which was allowed by the<\/p>\n
Government and the District Industries Centre. Amounts have been<\/p>\n
put in the joint account of the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.13576\/07 and<\/p>\n
the District Industries Manager for implementation. It is under the<\/p>\n
above circumstances, the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06 has<\/p>\n
filed that writ petition seeking the following reliefs.<\/p>\n
                   i)    to issue a writ of certiorari and
\n            quash Exhibit-P4 as illegal and arbitrary;\n<\/p>\n
                   ii)   to issue a writ of mandamus
\n            directing    the  third   respondent     to pass
\n            appropriate orders on Exhibit-P3 application;\n<\/p>\n
                  iii)   to issue a writ of mandamus
\n            directing the third respondent to sanction a
\n            cluster development agent to petitioner’s
\n            choice.\n<\/p>\n
                  iv)    to issue such other writ, order or
\n            direction as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit
\n            and proper in the facts and circumstance of
\n            the case”.\n<\/p>\n
       2.    The contention in that writ petition is that by handing<\/p>\n
over the funds to the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.13576\/06, the<\/p>\n
respondents have violated the purpose of the scheme and allowed a<\/p>\n
single Company to enjoy the financial assistance given under the<\/p>\n
scheme which is intended for the benefit of others also. According to<\/p>\n
the petitioner in that writ petition that the same amounts to<\/p>\n
violation of the scheme formulated by the Central Government.<\/p>\n
W.P.(c)No.12297 \/06& Con.case         3<\/span><\/p>\n
      3.    The petitioner in W.P.(C)No.13576\/06, filed that writ<\/p>\n
petition in view of the failure on the part of the respondents to<\/p>\n
release funds for setting up of the apparel park in accordance with<\/p>\n
the project report submitted by them. Therefore, they have sought<\/p>\n
the following reliefs in their writ petition.\n<\/p>\n
                   “a)   issue a writ of mandamus or other
\n            appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the
\n            respondents to disburse the amount sanctioned
\n            as per Exhibit-P5 Government Order,\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                   b)   Hold that the delay in disbursing the
\n           amount sanctioned in Exhibit P-5 is arbitrary and
\n           illegal,\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                   c)   issue a writ of mandamus or other
\n           appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the
\n           3rd respondent to act upon Exhibits P-6 and P-7
\n           forthwith and\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                  d)    Be further pleased to issue such
\n           other writs, orders and directions as are deemed
\n           fit in the facts and circumstances of the case”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      4.    Now      it  is  clear   that    W.P.(C)No.13576\/06  was<\/p>\n
necessitated only because of the order of status quo dated 23.5.06<\/p>\n
passed in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06. As such once W.P.(C)No.12297\/06<\/p>\n
is decided finally, it may not necessary to go into the contentions in<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)No.13576\/06 at all.\n<\/p>\n
      5.    The contention of the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.13576\/06,<\/p>\n
who is the 5th respondent in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06 is that there is no<\/p>\n
departure from the original scheme at all and in fact the 5th<\/p>\n
respondent is setting up an apparel park itself in accordance with a<\/p>\n
project report submitted by them in tune with the objects of the<\/p>\n
W.P.(c)No.12297 \/06& Con.case       4<\/span><\/p>\n
scheme framed by the Central Government itself.        They would<\/p>\n
contend that there is absolutely no merit in the contention in W.P.<\/p>\n
(C)No.12297\/06 in so far as the petitioner therein submitted Ext.P3<\/p>\n
application along with project report only on 25.1.06 much after the<\/p>\n
petitioner in W.P.(C)No.13576\/06 submitted their project report<\/p>\n
which had already been accepted and acted upon by them.<\/p>\n
        6.   I have considered the rival contentions in detail. The<\/p>\n
primary contention of the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06 appears<\/p>\n
to be that the amounts sanctioned for the scheme is being siphoned<\/p>\n
off, for the benefit of the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.13576\/06 alone,<\/p>\n
instead of applying the funds to the common benefit of units<\/p>\n
engaged in the manufacture of apparels by providing the common<\/p>\n
facilities contrary to the object of the scheme.     Of course, the<\/p>\n
petitioner in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06 contends that the General Manger<\/p>\n
of the District Industries Centre is in collusion with the 5th<\/p>\n
respondent and they are together siphoning off the amounts in<\/p>\n
question. But the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.13576\/06 submits that as<\/p>\n
is clear from the documents produced the amount is not merely<\/p>\n
given to that Company but the amount is deposited in a joint<\/p>\n
account with the General Manger of the District Industries Centre<\/p>\n
and therefore without his knowledge and his consent no amount can<\/p>\n
be spent for the purpose other than for the scheme. This stand is<\/p>\n
W.P.(c)No.12297 \/06& Con.case       5<\/span><\/p>\n
fully supported by the counter affidavit filed by the Government in<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)No.13576\/06.       The petitioner in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06 has<\/p>\n
not been able to bring on record any material in support of his<\/p>\n
contention that the amounts are being siphoned off for the benefit<\/p>\n
of private individuals without using the amount for the common<\/p>\n
benefit of small scale apparel units as envisaged in the scheme of<\/p>\n
the Central Government.      The petitioner has not even cared to<\/p>\n
produce a copy of the scheme of the Central Government to<\/p>\n
substantiate his contentions. He has not impleaded the manager of<\/p>\n
the District Industries Centre in his personal capacity to allege and<\/p>\n
prove malafides\/collusion as alleged by the petitioner.<\/p>\n
      7.    The learned counsel for the petitioner in W.P.(C)<\/p>\n
No.13576\/06 points out that the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06<\/p>\n
had not even any contention to that effect in that writ petition. In<\/p>\n
so far as the petitioner in W.P.(C)No.12297\/06 has not been able to<\/p>\n
satisfy me that Ext.P4 order of the Government is vitiated in any<\/p>\n
manner, I am not inclined to entertain that writ petition.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, W.P.(C)No.12297\/06 is dismissed.<\/p>\n
      In view of the dismissal of W.P.(C)No.12297\/06, W.P.(C)<\/p>\n
No.13576\/06 is disposed of directing the respondents to take<\/p>\n
appropriate steps to see that the appropriate funds are provided for<\/p>\n
implementation of the scheme in accordance with Exts.P5 and P6<\/p>\n
W.P.(c)No.12297 \/06& Con.case     6<\/span><\/p>\n
expeditiously, but ensuring that the funds are used strictly for the<\/p>\n
purpose of implementation of the scheme for which the funds had<\/p>\n
been allotted.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
