It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that in a similar petition W.P. No. 20994/2011, filed by the petitioner in a case where the respondents had denied the benefit of similar scheme to the Scheduled Caste students, this court by order dated 20.04.2012 had directed the respondents to consider the matter and decide it by a speaking order within a period of one month and communicate the same to the petitioner relying on the decision of this court rendered in the case of Yogesh Shilavat Vs. Union of India and others (W.P. No.2648/2004) decided on 12.02.2009. It is submitted that the respondents are also denying the benefit of the Scheme to the W.P. No.10593/2012

No. 20994/11 dated 20.04.12 and communicate the same to the petitioner.
