ORDER
Order No.
02. 21.08.2026
(Through hybrid Mode)
1. This writ application has been filed for a direction to the Opposite Parties to provide a house to the Petitioner under the scheme of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana of the Central Government (in short “PMAY”).
2. Mr. A. Mishra, learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that although the Petitioner who is a widow, has submitted her application more than three years ago i.e. on 26.04.2023, before the Executive Officer, Subarnapur Municipality along with supporting documents, but the same has not been considered. Applications of other persons who had applied at that time have been allowed.
3. He further submits that since no decision has been taken on her earlier application, as it was filed two and half years ago, the Petitioner shall file another application along with supporting documents before the Executive Officer, Subarnapur Municipality within a period of two weeks for grant of benefit under the PMAY and a direction may be issued for its consideration.
4. In view of the submission of the learned counsel for the Petitioner and the nature of order, I propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to the Opposite Parties or hear them.
5. Without going into the merit of the case of the Petitioner for grant of benefit under the PMAY, the writ application is disposed of directing the Opposite Party No.5 to consider the application of the Petitioner in accordance with law within a period of six weeks, if it is filed within a period of two weeks from today.
6. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
