The Court made the following Order:

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Social Welfare for the respondent Nos.1, 3 & 4 and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Finance Planning for the respondent No.2.

2. The grievance of the petitioner in the instant writ petition is against the action of the respondents in not releasing the 2nd installment of financial assistance of Rs.5,00,000/- in favour of the petitioner’s son in terms of G.O.Ms.No.29, dated 27-08-2016, despite the sanction of funds by the Government.

3. When the matter has been taken up for consideration today, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents has placed before the Court a copy of instructions received by him in the case. A perusal of the same would reflect that the Government has released funds for the financial year 2026-27 towards the clearance of pending arrears to eligible beneficiaries under the scheme “NTR Videshi Vidyadharana”. Accordingly, an amount of Rs.5,00,000/- will be sanctioned in favour of the petitioner’ son.

4. Having regard to the above, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents to release the amount due to the petitioner within a period of three (03) months from the date of receipt of the order.

5. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel, all pending miscellaneous applications shall stand closed. ______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Dated: 15-07-2026 MSI
