For 1st Respondent : Mr.K.S.Jeyaganeshan For Respondents 2 to 4 : Mr.E.Manoharan, Addl. Govt. Pleader

¶12

O R D E R (Order of the Court was made by S.MANIKUMAR, J.) Instant writ petition has been filed for a direction to the Director, Social Justice and Empowerment, Union of India, New Delhi, 1st respondent herein, to immediately release the funds of Rs.1765.62 Crores to Scheduled Caste students and Rs.31.2 Crores to the Scheduled Tribe students enabling them to pursue their higher education and to direct the other respondents to take effective steps to get the funds from the 1st respondent, namely Union of India, Represented by its Director, Social Justice and Empowerment, New Delhi.

¶13

Short facts leading to the filing of the writ petition are that the petitioner belongs to Adi-Dravidar community which comes under the Scheduled Castes. Right from his student days, he had been involving himself in various social activities, especially for the upliftment of the members of SC/ST with his legal background.

¶14

The present Public Interest Litigation is to seek for appropriate directions to the respondents to continue to support Post Matric Scholarship to students hailing from SC/ST communities, to pursue their higher education, as there has been paucity of funds, due to non-release of funds by the Government of India, as a result of which, Government of Tamil Nadu, have decided to restrict the benefits of the scheme, which, in effect, totally deprives the students hailing from SC/ST communities to pursue their higher education.

¶15

The petitioner has further submitted that taking note of poor higher education ratio among the members of SC/ST, who lack sufficient funds to pursue higher education, in the year 2012, Government of Tamil Nadu have granted benefits to SC/ST students, whose parent/guardian income is below Rs.2 lakhs per

¶16

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶17

year and tuition fees for their higher education in SelfFinancing (including Minorities Institutions), would be borne by the State Government under the Central Government Post-Matric Scholarship programme. To give effect to the same, the AdiDravidar and Tribal Welfare Department, Government of Tamil Nadu issued a G.O(MS).No.92 dated 11.09.2012, setting out the norms and guidelines for implementing the scheme sanctioned in G.O. (Ms) Nos.6, dated 09.01.2012 and 63 dated 25.06.2012 of the AdiDravidar & Tribal Welfare Department.

¶18

The petitioner has further contended that several SC/ST students, who could not get seats in Government Institutions, were provided with, an opportunity to fulfill their Higher Education dreams. This scheme is in existence only in few States in India. After the introduction of this scheme, there is an increase in Engineering Students from SC/ST communities.

The petitioner has further contended that the Department of Adi-Dravidar and Tribal Welfare has issued G.O.Nos. 51 & 52 dated 11.08.2017 amending G.O.No.6 dated 09.01.2012. It has come as a rude shock and surprise to many SC/ST Students. Their anguish has been published in the several daily News Papers. As per the amendment, SC/ST students who joined the course, under the Management Quota in Self-Financing Colleges, can get

¶21

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶22

Scholarship amount only as much being charged for the students under the Government quota fixed tuition fees. In Tamil Nadu, there are several Private Educational Institutions outnumbering Government Institutions. As a consequence of the above amendments, several students who could not get admission in Government quota, cannot join self-financing colleges, who charge more than the Govt, quota fixed tuition fee. Hence their educational dreams have been shattered and nipped at the bud.

¶23

The petitioner has further submitted that Fee Fixation Committee for the Self-Finance Colleges appointed by the Government of Tamil Nadu, headed bv Mr.Justice.N.V.Balasubramanian, a former High Court Judge, has increased the tuition fees for Engineering courses additionally Rs.17,000/- for accredited courses and Rs.15,000/- additionally, for non-accredited courses. Therefore, the Scholarship amount also ought to have been increased. Instead, Scholarship amount has been drastically reduced. Now, in the academic year 2017 - 2018, when the fees has been fixed as Rs.85,000/- for Engineering courses, only Rs.50,000/- will be borne by the Government, SC/ST students. The remaining amount of Rs.35,000/-, has to be paid by the students. Earlier, Medical Students from SC/ST Communities, can get upto Rs.12,50,000/- as scholarship. Now, as per the amended G.Os, they can get only a meager amount of Rs.4,00,000/- and the remaining Rs.8,00,000/- should be paid by the students. Likewise, BDS students have to pay upto Rs.3.50 lakhs from out of their own funds.

¶24

The petitioner has further contended that SC/ST students of all courses, are forced to pay additional amounts, which is outside their financial reach. In such a situation, the poor and downtrodden SC/ST Students would not be able to pursue their dream of Higher Education. It is also pertinent to note that in 2013, by way of a similar measure, already G.O.Nos.106 & 107 were issued, with a similar view and effect, and that the same was withdrawn, due to the pressure exerted by the welfare groups, who pointed out the ill-effects of the then proposed measures. It is pertinent to note that during the period from 2012 to 2017, there are 4,30,4529 students from SC/ST communities who got benefited by the scheme.

¶25

The petitioner has further submitted that Government of Tamil Nadu, in its press release, have stated that the Central Government have not yet released a sum of Rs.1546 Crores, meant for the distribution of Post-Matric Scholarship and with regard to the same, the State Government have written a letter to the Central Government, seeking release of the said amount.

¶26

The petitioner has further contended that the State Government have stated that only in the said situation, the

¶27

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶28

decision to reduce the scholarship amount has been taken by the State Government. It is the further submission of the petitioner that information obtained under RTI Act, 2005, as provided by the Directorate of Adi-Dravidar and Tribal Welfare shows that the 1st respondent did not release the full amount of its share of Post Matric Scholarship. The details for the SC students are as follows:

¶29

Year	Total Expense (Crore)	Share of State Govt. (Crore) Share of Central Govt. (Crores)	Funds released by Central Govt. (Crores)

2017-18	0.00	0.00 0.00	5.53

¶30

The petitioner has further contended that from the year 2012-2017, a sum of Rs.1765.62 Crores, ought to have been released by to the SC Students and Rs.31.2 Crores to the ST Students. On further enquiry, petitioner is said to have learnt that G.O.No.52 has been challenged by a student by name, Minor S.Jeyakumar, represented by his father M.Selvam in W.P(MD) No.17694/2017, Madurai Bench of this court has stayed the operation of G.O.Ms.No. 52 and it is posted along with another similar Writ Petition in W.P(MD)No.18385/2017. Thousands of students belonging to the SC/ST communities would be affected by

¶31

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶32

the implementation of the G.O.Nos. 51 & 52 and hence, the petitioner made a detailed representation, dated 27.11.2017, to the 2nd and 3rd respondents herein and also to the Hon’ble Chief Minister’s Special Cell, in person on 27.11.2017.

¶33

Further, the petitioner has sent the same also, through speed post with acknowledgment due, to the respondents. The same were received by the respondents and other authorities. However, till date, no action has been taken. The petitioner has further submitted that to his shock and surprise, there is a news item reported in “The Times of India” dated 18.12.2017, under the caption ‘1.4 lakh students denied hall ticket oner unpaid fees’. Due to the G.O.Nos. 51 & 52, several students now in street and they could not pay the fees amount. According to the information the 1st respondent did not release the funds to the SC/ST communities students.

¶34

The petitioner has further submitted that in view of the fact that the present issue concerns the educational aspirations of the suppressed sections of the society, namely the students hailing from SC/ST communities, unless the 1st respondent is directed to release the require funds, students would be deprived of their right to higher education. Thus, the present writ petition.

¶35

Under Secretary, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, New Delhi, 1^st respondent herein, has filed a detailed counter affidavit and submitted that they are dealing with the Centrally Sponsored Post Matric Scholarship scheme for SC Students. Post Matric Scholarship Scheme for SC caste students is a centrally Sponsored Scheme and the scheme is implemented by the State government / Union territories Administrations.

¶36

Under Post Matric Scholarship Scheme for SC students, State Government and Union Territories Administrations receive Central Assistance from the Government of India for the total expenditure under the scheme, over and above their respective committed liability. The committed liability of the State Government of Tamil Nadu supposed to be utilized in each year of the 12^th plan period ie. 2012-2013 to 2016-2017 is Rs.353.55 crore. The Central Assistance released during 12^th plan period i.e. 2012-2013 to 2016-2017 and up to 2018- 2019 to the State Government of Tamil Nadu is as under:

¶37

S.No	Year	Amount Released
1.	2012-2013	Rs.142.39 Cr
2.	2013-2014	Rs.321.73 Cr
3.	2014-2015	Rs.254.00 Cr

¶38

¶39

S.No	Year	Amount Released
4.	2015-2016	Rs.460.64 Cr
5.	2016-2017	Rs.743.24 Cr
6.	2017-2018	Rs.434.48 Cr
7.	2018-2019	Rs.584.47 Cr

¶40

The 1^st respondent has further submitted that from the above table, it is clear that the Government of India have been releasing funds to Government of Tamil Nadu, on regular basis. Further, during the year 2018-19, an amount of Rs.584.47 crore has been released and balance arrears upto 2016-2017 is Rs.822.91 crore only. Ministry of Finance has been requested, vide letter, dated 13.8.2018 to release additional funds of Rs.4,000 crore under the Post Matric Scholarship Scheme to SC students on priority to enable Ministry to release funds to States/UTs. In anticipation of getting the funds from Ministry of Finance, administrative approval of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, has been obtained on 16.08.2018, for release of balance arrears of 2016-17 to Tamil Nadu.

¶41

The Director, Adi-Dravidar Welfare, Chepauk, Chennai 600 005, 4^th respondent herein, has filed a counter affidavit, on behalf of respondents 2 and 3, and submitted that the Government of Tamil Nadu implements many scholarship schemes for the students belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes converted to Christianity to improve the educational qualifications of the said students. The Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme is one of the important schemes which is implemented by the State on a share basis between Central and State Government.

¶42

The Government of Tamil Nadu receives 100% Central Assistance from the Government of India for the total expenditure incurred under the scheme over and above the Committed Liability. The Committed Liability of the State is the total actual expenditure incurred by the State, under the scheme during the terminal year of the last Five Year plan period from the year 2012-13. Government of Tamil Nadu makes adequate provision of funds equivalent to the Committed Liability in its own budget to incur expenditure towards scholarship during a year. Government of India would reimburse expenditure over and above the Committed Liability incurred by the Government of Tamil Nadu every year.

¶43

The 4^th respondent has further submitted that Government of Tamil Nadu, in G.O.(Ms) No.6, AD & TW Dept, Dated 9.1.2012, have issued orders to the effect that all compulsory and non-refundable fee payable by the SC/ST students, studying

¶44

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶45

in Self Financing Institutions shall be reimbursed by the Government to them, by way of Post-Matric Scholarship from the year 2011-12. Benefit of the scheme was also extended to Scheduled Castes Converted to Christianity vide G.O.(Ms) No.63, AD&TW Dept, Dated 25.6.2012. In G.O.(Ms) No.92, AD&TW Dept, Dated 11.9.2012 Guidelines and regulations for the above scheme have been issued by Government of Tamil Nadu.

¶46

The 4^th respondent has further submitted that after two years' of implementation of this scheme, it is noticed that several of the self financing institutions had tried to derail and subvert the scheme by taking the students, only under the management quota, keeping the single window Government seats vacant and some of the self financing institutions, were making use of the Single Window Government quota vacant seats meant for other communities, which were remitted back to them at the end of counselling by getting them also filled with Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates under the management quota in their institution, to avail the scholarship benefits entitled for Scheduled caste students.

¶47

The 4^th respondent has further submitted that the fee fixed by the Committee, for Government seats, is less than the fee payable for the management seats. Since fees for both, Government and management quota is reimbursable, there is an incentive to the management of self financing colleges, to promote more admission, under the management quota, while keeping the seats in Government quota vacant. It is an open ended scheme where a private institution is exploiting the situation by forcing the students to opt for the management quota, even though the students are entitled for Government quota, which has to be controlled and the amount charged by the private institution for management quota, has to be capped or otherwise, there is every possibility that they may try to, hike the rates fixed by the Government. This may lead to an unqualified recurring financial risk to the Government.

¶48

It is further submitted by the 4^th respondent that the Government is facing inadmissible expenditure, in this regard and such a difficult situation will lead to sudden spike in expenditure under Post-Matric scholarship. In the meantime, the Special Audit conducted for the academic year 2014-2015 has reported that Rs.4506.73 lakhs, excess amount was sanctioned due to the flaws in the implementation of the scheme. Under such circumstances, the Government, in order to maintain parity, restricted scholarship payable to management quota equivalent to that of Government quota. Based on the audit report the Government, G.O.(Ms) No.51&52, AD&TW (ADW.3) Dept, Dated 11.08.2017 have been issued orders equalizing the course fee, for both the Government and Management quota in Self financing

¶49

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶50

colleges in order to streamline the course fees.

¶51

The 4^th respondent has further submitted that the Government of Tamil Nadu makes adequate provision of funds equivalent to the Committed Liability in its own budget to incur prima-facie expenditure towards scholarship, during a year. Government of India reimburses expenditure over and above the Committed Liability incurred by State Government in a year. The estimated expenditure for every year increases by more than 20% of the previous year expenditure, while the receipts from Government of India, is less in all the years. Every year, the State Government is sending financial proposal for seeking release of Central Assistance over and above the Committed Liability of the State. Whilst the state Government have taken every possible effort for securing the funds from Government of India, the challenges faced by the state get compounded due to delayed and inadequate release of central assistance under the scheme, incurring the expenditure in anticipation of central release and then adjusting upon receipt of the same added a huge burden to the State's Exchequer. Inadequate fund release by the center, resulted in spill over cases to be sanctioned in the subsequent years, though the State Government is incurring more than its share, as per the sharing pattern suggested for the Government of India Scheme.

¶52

The 4^th respondent has further submitted that Government of Tamil Nadu have sanctioned Rs.850.00 Crore in G.O. (D) No.92, AD&TW Dept, dated 14.6.2018. The entire Scholarship for the students studying in Government/Government Aided institutions, have been disbursed and Maintenance Allowance for Students studying in Self financing Private institutions, as on 15.9.2018, have been disbursed upto the year 2017-18. 100% Course fee component in respect of the SC/ST students upto the year 2016-17, as recommended by the respective administrative heads of the departments has been disbursed. 90% of SC students and 100 % of ST students studying in 2^nd , 3^rd , 4^th year of the respective courses have also been settled, to the private institutions as on date.

¶53

It is the further case of the 4^th respondent that there are three W.Ps., pending before this Court, viz., (i) W.P.No.24109/2017 and W.M.P.No.25455/2017 filed by Thiru.P.Karupasamy, (ii) W.M.P.(MD) No.14827 of 2017 in W.P.(MD) No.18385 of 2017 filed by Thiru.M.Sathees Kumar and (iii) W.P. (MD)No.17694 of 2017 and WMP(MD)No.14232 of 2017 filed by Thiru. S.Jeyakumar, in Madurai Bench of this High Court against the operation of G.O.(Ms)No.52, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare (ADW.3) Department, dated 11.08.2017. This Court has granted interim stay of G.O.(Ms)No.52, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare (ADW.3) Department, dated 11.08.2017, in the aforesaid three

¶54

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶55

Writ Petitions. Government of Tamil Nadu have already filed vacate stay petition in the said cases. Due to the Interim stay granted by the court in the aforesaid cases, Government of Tamil Nadu is not in a position to disburse scholarship, insofar as first year students of the self financing institutions, studying in the academic year 2017-18. Therefore, the course fee component on behalf of the first year students of the academic year 2017-18 will be disbursed to the institutions as soon as final orders are issued by this Court in those cases.

¶56

Secretary to the Government, Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India, New Delhi, 5^th respondent herein, has filed a counter affidavit and submitted that the annual parental income ceiling under the scheme Post Matric Scholarship (PMS) to the students belonging to Scheduled Tribes had been increased from Rs.2.00 Lakhs to 2.50 Lakhs with effect from 01.04.2013, vide Ministry of Tribal Affairs letter No.20014/5/2002-Edu., dated 23^rd May 2013.

This must be in both decision making as well as funds flow. In order to ensure that the State share of the scholarship amount is paid into the bank account of the beneficiary speedily by passing through the minimum number of

Expenditure under the scheme has increased more than 20% for the past three years as detailed below:-

A comparative statement showing the stream wise number of beneficiaries in colleges for the past three years is enclosed. (Annexure XIV).

¶409

I am further to inform that, from 2013-14 onwards, implementation of PMSS has been compulsory done through online and disbursement to the beneficiaries under PMSS has been made through ECS mode. The District wise, institution wise and course wise demand for 2016-17 as annexed herewith.

D.O. Letter, dated 13.08.2018, addressed to the

¶807

Secretary, Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, is extracted hereunder:

¶808

I am writing this in the context of pending arrears upto the year 2016-17 and also Central Assistant due towards arrears claims for 2017-18 and anticipated claims for 2018-19 to the States / UTs under the core scheme of Post Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Castes Students.

¶809

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶810

The Cabinet in its meeting held on 4^th April, 2018 approved the continuation and revision of the Scheme which inter alia includes release of arrears up to 2016-17 which have accumulated over a period of time. Accordingly, against a Budge Estimate of Rs.3000 crore under the scheme during 2018-19, the Department has already released an amount of Rs.1443 crore to the States / UTs for arrears upto 2016-17 and further proposals amounting Rs.3732 crore have been concurred by the Internal Finance Division towards arrears upto 2016-17 with the condition to release the same on prorata basis subject to availability of funds. It may be noted that these arrears requirements are not yet finalized for some of the States of which the major ones are Bihar, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

¶811

The Department also had several rounds of discussions during the last few weeks with the Principal Secretaries and other senior officers of the States / UTs in order to determine the extent of Central Assistance (CA) due towards 2017-18 and 201819 and other related issues arising out of the revision of the Scheme. With the revised committed liability, the anticipated CA due is Rs.550 crore and Rs.1200 crore for the years 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively.

¶812

Taking into account the committed liability of the States / UTs as it is emerging now, the Central Share for the years 2017-18 & 2018-19 is likely to be only 5% of the total combined expenditure of the Centre and the States / UTs with almost nil contribution of the Centre for many States / UTs have raised serious objections on the level of committed liability shifted to States with only meagre share of Central Government and have requested to re-consider this aspect of the Scheme. On this issue, the requests received from various States are being consolidated and examined separately.

¶813

In the meantime, I request you to consider release of additional grants of Rs.4000 crore under the Scheme on priority to enable us release funds to those States / UTs that have submitted complete proposals so far. The balance funds, if any, will be sought at the Revised Estimate stage, with the aim of entering the next fiscal with minimal arrears.
