High court issue notice to Maharshtra Govt . in matter of illegal sanction M.L.A. LAD fund
Nagpur-20th august,2009
Mumbai high court nagpur has issued notice to maharashtra Govt. returnable after two weeks in matter public interest litigation filed by Vidarbha Janandolan samiti president kishore tiwari praying to Cancel & Withdraw Government Resolution extending illegal State Largesse & Extra Ordinary Illegal Favor to MLAs Local Area Development Funds meant for entire Financial Year -2009-10 is being allowed to be spent in Six Months Time as the MLAs term is expiring in October 2009 as New MLAs will not have any Local Area Development Funds for Six Months as entire funds of F.Y. 2009-10 will be spent by outgoing MLAs to suit their favors.
Divisional bench of justice A.P.Lawande and justice P.D.Kode issued notice to maharashtra Govt. thorugh chief secretary to submit detail reply on Govt. Resolution No. LAD-2009/CS No. 85/Ka/1445 dated 16th June, 2009 issued by Planning Department of Govt. of Maharashtra, Mantralaya, Mumbai, extending State largesse to MLAs & MLCs – Local Area Development Funds meant for entire Financial Year -2009-10 is being allowed to be spent in Six Months Time as the MLAs term is expiring in October 2009.
Advt Firdos Miirza and Advt.Vinod Tiwari informed the high court that as per the Govt. Resolution No. LAD-2009/CS No. 85/Ka/1445 dated 16th June, 2009 issued by Planning Department of Govt. of Maharashtra, Mantralaya, Mumbai, under the orders & authority in the name of Your Honor, through which Government of Maharashtra has surprisingly extended State Largesse & Extra Ordinary Illegal Favor to MLAs & MLCs – Local Area Development Funds meant for entire Financial Year -2009-10 is being allowed to be spent in Six Months Time as the MLAs term is expiring in October 2009. This has been done contrary to the general practice being adopted by all State Governments and Central Government to allow only proportionate quantum of Local Area Development Funds to MLAs – MPs considering the balance tenure in the respective Financial Year especially when the legislature / parliament term is ending mid of the Financial Year.
It was further submitted that to the utter surprise of all, totally arbitrary and malafide decision has been taken by the Govt. of Maharashtra to extend extra ordinary and illegal favour to MLAs by allowing them to spent entire fund of Rs. 100.00 lakhs meant for F.Y. 2009-10 in 4-5 months time so that they can enjoy the fruits out of this. This is highly objectionable and illegal, as the State largesse & Extra Ordinary Illegal Favor has been provided to MLAs & MLCs – Local Area Development Funds meant for entire Financial Year -2009-10 is being allowed to be spent in Six Months Time as the MLAs term is expiring in October 2009. As such the GR issued is bad in the eyes of law because it is causing direct loss to the State Treasury.
Petitioner kishore tiwari has prayed high court to order to withdraw & cancel the above referred GR to save the public funds being spent lavishly without any moral & lawful authority due to the said GR as before approaching the high court he moved to the state governor requesting him to stop this misuse of power but having failed to get justice this writ as PIL filed in this high court ,petition added. now case is returnable after two week.
Please arrange to do the needful
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
KISHORE TIWARI
PRESIDENT
VIDARBHA JAN ANDOLAN SAMITI.
