The Scheme is for the benefit of the physically handicapped children. In view of the reasons given in the impugned order, merely because some reply was submitted by the petitioner on 30.03.2024 does not persuade us to interfere in a matter when there is evidence as mentioned in the impugned order regarding there being no significant improvement. Inspection was conducted towards the end of June, 2024. This is not a matter where this Court should exercise its extra ordinary discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner cannot have any indefeasible right to run the said Scheme which has been formulated under a beneficial legislation.
