     Prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct respondents 1<\/p>\n
and 6 to conduct an enquiry in the matter of implementation of<\/p>\n
MPLADS scheme and to direct them not to implement the scheme<\/p>\n
for the benefit of the members of the scheduled caste who are<\/p>\n
residents of the Kizhakkambalam        Grama Panchayath before<\/p>\n
conclusion of the enquiry.\n<\/p>\n
     2.    Petitioner is the president of the Kerala Pularyar<\/p>\n
Mahasabha Association, which is said to consist of about 250<\/p>\n
members. The Kizhakkambalam Grama Panchayath area comes<\/p>\n
within the erstwhile Muvattupuzha Parliamentary constituency.<\/p>\n
The issue raised in this writ petition is regarding the<\/p>\n
implementation of a scheme called Member of Parliament Local<\/p>\n
Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) formulated by the<\/p>\n
Government of India in November,2005. Exhibit P1 is the extract<\/p>\n
of the guidelines governing the implementation of the scheme.<\/p>\n
In this context, it is to be mentioned in terms of Exhibit P1<\/p>\n
guidelines, governing the scheme, 15% of the fund is to be<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 7801\/2009
\n                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n
spent for the upliftment of areas inhabited by members of<\/p>\n
Scheduled Castes. It is seen from pleadings in the writ petition,<\/p>\n
that Shri P.C Thomas, M.P submitted Exhibit R1(a) letter to the<\/p>\n
first respondent, recommending the work of construction of<\/p>\n
retaining wall and for bathing ghat at Kulathekattukulam (pond)<\/p>\n
in Ward 1 of Kizhakkambalam Grama Panchayath. In Exhibit R1<\/p>\n
(a), it is also mentioned that the required amount of Rs.10 lakhs<\/p>\n
is to be sanctioned from the SC fund of the Scheme.<\/p>\n
      3.     Respondents submit that on receipt of Exhibit R1(a),<\/p>\n
feasibility report [Exhibit R1(b)] was obtained, which inter alia<\/p>\n
states that more than 51% of the beneficiaries of the project<\/p>\n
recommended are those belonging to Scheduled Castes.          It is<\/p>\n
stated that this was also reported in Annexure R1(c), a Social<\/p>\n
Map submitted by the 5th respondent. It is also stated that the<\/p>\n
5th respondent gave Annexure R1(d) list of beneficiaries and that<\/p>\n
Exhibit R1(e) is yet another Feasibility Certificate. Exhibit R1(f)<\/p>\n
and Exhibit R1(g) are stated to be Social Map and another list of<\/p>\n
beneficiaries.\n<\/p>\n
      4.     Thus the proposal made by the M.P was processed in<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 7801\/2009
\n                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n
the manner as stated above. Thereafter, by Exhibit P2, the<\/p>\n
second respondent convened a meeting of the beneficiaries of the<\/p>\n
project. Accordingly by Exhibit P3, a beneficiary committee was<\/p>\n
constituted and the petitioner complains that in the beneficiary<\/p>\n
committee, there was no representation to the Scheduled Castes.<\/p>\n
Petitioner    submits   that     the   first respondent     granted<\/p>\n
administrative and technical sanction as per Exhibits P4 and P5.<\/p>\n
      5.    At that stage, petitioner submits that they filed Exhibit<\/p>\n
P6, an objection before the first respondent, mainly against<\/p>\n
including the project in the SC quota and pointing out that there<\/p>\n
are more deserving projects which can be sponsored by the MP<\/p>\n
concerned.      In spite of it, when further proceedings were<\/p>\n
continued for executing the project, the writ petition has been<\/p>\n
filed with the prayers mentioned above.\n<\/p>\n
      6.    Main contention raised by the counsel for the<\/p>\n
petitioner is that the work is for renovation and that the same is<\/p>\n
prohibited in Exhibit P1 guidelines. It is also his contention that<\/p>\n
as per the guidelines, the M.P can only give a priority list as<\/p>\n
contemplated in Annexure II thereof recommending the project<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 7801\/2009
\n                                 4<\/span><\/p>\n
and that no positive direction as contained in Exhibit R1(a) can be<\/p>\n
issued. Yet another contention raised is that until       the final<\/p>\n
stages of processing of the matter, there was nothing to indicate<\/p>\n
that the project was to be executed in the quota earmarked for<\/p>\n
SC, but however, at later point of time, the project was diverted<\/p>\n
and included SC quota.\n<\/p>\n
      7.    All these contentions are sought to be contradicted by<\/p>\n
the learned Special Government Pleader, referring to the<\/p>\n
statement filed by the first respondent and also the documents<\/p>\n
annexed to the said statement.\n<\/p>\n
      8.    The first point canvassed by counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n
is that the work in question is a prohibited one on the ground<\/p>\n
that it is renovation or maintenance that is undertaken . This<\/p>\n
contention raised by the counsel for the petitioner is mainly<\/p>\n
relying on Annexure II to Exhibit P1 guidelines, which inter alia<\/p>\n
provides that all renovation and repair works, except heritage<\/p>\n
and archaeological monuments and building with specific<\/p>\n
permission from the Archaeological Survey of India              are<\/p>\n
prohibited under the Scheme. While examining correctness of<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 7801\/2009
\n                                  5<\/span><\/p>\n
this contention, I should refer to the documents produced by the<\/p>\n
learned Special Government Pleader along with the statement<\/p>\n
filed by him. The first document is the proposal made by the M.P<\/p>\n
vide Exhibit R1(a), where the work is described as construction<\/p>\n
of retaining wall.    Nature of work given in Exhibit R1(a), is<\/p>\n
reiterated in further communications also, which include those<\/p>\n
relied on by counsel for the petitioner also. Therefore, if the work<\/p>\n
executed is one of construction of a retaining wall, it will not be<\/p>\n
correct to say that such work is one in the nature of a<\/p>\n
renovation or maintenance. A work of renovation or maintenance<\/p>\n
necessarily contemplate the existence of a structure to which<\/p>\n
works for its improvement are carried out. In this case, the work<\/p>\n
in question is the construction of a retaining wall for the first<\/p>\n
time and if that be so, it cannot be said that such a work is one<\/p>\n
of renovation. It is true that in certain correspondences including<\/p>\n
Exhibits R1(c) and R1(e), the word “Naveekaranam” has been<\/p>\n
used. But however, I do not want to rest my conclusion entirely<\/p>\n
on this terminology used. For the reasons stated above, since the<\/p>\n
work in question is the construction of a new retaining wall, that<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 7801\/2009
\n                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n
is not one coming within the list of prohibited works contained in<\/p>\n
Annexure II to Exhibit P1 and therefore, the submission made by<\/p>\n
the counsel for the petitioner only to be refuted and I do so.<\/p>\n
      9.    The second ground raised by counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n
is that a Member of Parliament can make only a recommendatory<\/p>\n
proposal with a priority list. This contention of the counsel for<\/p>\n
the petitioner is made referring to Annexure III to Exhibit P1<\/p>\n
guidelines. Annexure III is the format for recommending eligible<\/p>\n
works.     It is true, this Annexure enables the Member of<\/p>\n
Parliament to make his recommendation to the first respondent<\/p>\n
and prima facie, I am also inclined to agree with the counsel for<\/p>\n
the petitioner that once recommendations are received, it is for<\/p>\n
the first respondent to consider the recommendation with due<\/p>\n
application of mind and decide on its implementation. A reading<\/p>\n
of statement and documents annexed thereto would give the<\/p>\n
impression that the respondents have proceeded on the basis<\/p>\n
that they cannot make any departure from the recommendation<\/p>\n
made by the Member of Parliament. Although, I cannot agree<\/p>\n
with this submission    entirely, for the reason that    para 3 of<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 7801\/2009
\n                                 7<\/span><\/p>\n
Annexure III      to Exhibit P1 makes it clear that if sanction is<\/p>\n
delayed or denied, District Authority is bound to intimate the<\/p>\n
same to the M. P concerned. This clearly means that the District<\/p>\n
Authority has an active role in the decision making process and is<\/p>\n
not expected to simply accept any recommendation that is made<\/p>\n
by the M.P.\n<\/p>\n
      10. However, in this case admittedly recommendation was<\/p>\n
made and an extensive study carried out and beneficiary<\/p>\n
committee was constituted and on that basis work in question<\/p>\n
has already commenced. Further going by records produced by<\/p>\n
the Government Pleader, it is seen that more than 51% of the<\/p>\n
beneficiaries are from schedule castes itself. If that be so, I<\/p>\n
should not upset the project already commenced for the reason<\/p>\n
that the scope of Exhibit P1 has been misconstrued by the<\/p>\n
implementation agencies. This is for the further reason that the<\/p>\n
bona fides of the official respondents is not in dispute.<\/p>\n
      11. Other contention raised by the petitioner was that in<\/p>\n
Exhibit P2 or Exhibit P3, there is no inclusion of the members of<\/p>\n
the Scheduled Caste community.        In my view, this complaint<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No. 7801\/2009
\n                                   8<\/span><\/p>\n
cannot be entertained for the reason that the petitioners have no<\/p>\n
case that they       attended the meeting of the beneficiaries<\/p>\n
convened by the second respondent, as per Exhibit P2 notice.<\/p>\n
Admittedly, by ExhibitP3 committee was constituted, from among<\/p>\n
those who have participated in the meeting. Since the petitioner<\/p>\n
did not participate in the said meeting, they cannot have any<\/p>\n
complaint in this regard.\n<\/p>\n
      In view of all the above, I do not think that this Court will<\/p>\n
be justified in exercising its discretionary jurisdiction under Article<\/p>\n
226 of the Constitution.\n<\/p>\n
      Writ petition fails and hence it is dismissed.<\/p>\n
