Calcutta High Court

The Calcutta High Court granted liberty to the petitioners to approach the concerned authority regarding fraudulent regarding disbursement made to the facilitators of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Project.

The Division Bench of Chief Justice T. S. Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharyya disposed of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) alleging that fraudulent disbursement has been made to the facilitators of PMAY Project and the private respondents have been named to have defrauded the revenue.

According to the petitioners, dead persons have been included as beneficiaries, the bank accounts of the beneficiaries have been changed at the last minute and unknown persons have swindled the public money.

The petitioners had not made any proper representation and the annexures to the petition are certain queries which have been raised under the RTI Act and the information supplied by the Public Information Officer.

“The representation said to have been given by the petitioners on 8.2.2023 is absolutely vague lacking material particulars.”

Therefore, at this juncture, in the given facts, the Bench cannot issue any direction, as sought for, by the petitioners. However, liberty is granted to the petitioners to approach the concerned authority by way of comprehensive representation giving all facts enclosing all documents in support of their allegations and if such comprehensive representation is made, it is open to the concerned authority to consider the same in accordance with the law.
