Rajasthan High Court Allows Couple To Cure Defects In Application For 'Inter-Caste Marriage Help Scheme' With Almost 7 Yrs Delay

Live Law  

The bench of Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand at the Rajasthan High Court granted relief to an inter-caste married couple whose claim under the Dr. Savita Ben Ambedkar Inter-Caste Marriage Help Scheme was rejected for not curing the defect in the application within a period of one month. The petitioners were an inter-caste couple who submitted their application under the Scheme in January 2018 which was automatically rejected, allegedly without any intimation to them. The authorities refused to grant such permission on the ground that since the defects were not cured by the petitioners within the period of one month, the application was dismissed automatically. Furthermore, it was observed that in case such an application was submitted by the petitioners within one month, the authorities were expected to decide the same within a period of 3 months thereafter by passing a speaking and reasoned order, and if the petitioners were found to be eligible under the Scheme, the benefits shall be provided to them.
