JUDGMENT
~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 2nd day of June, 2021 The 1st petitioner obtained admission in Medical Institute of Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University at Ukraine for MBBS. `19.2 lakhs is the total fee for the Course. The petitioners approached the 1 st respondent seeking `7 lakhs as Educational Loan. No collateral security is required for Educational Loans up to `7.50 lakhs, contends the petitioner. However, the 1st respondent-Bank is not sanctioning the loan. The petitioners therefore seek to direct the 1st respondent to process Ext.P3 loan application.
2. The learned Standing Counsel for the 1 st respondent would submit that the Bank can consider the loan application only if the petitioners can establish that they have sufficient fund to remit the entire course fee to the educational institution. If the petitioners satisfy all requisite conditions, the WP(C) No.6646/2021 :3 : Bank will consider their loan application.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. In view of the nature of relief being granted to the petitioners, notice to the 2nd respondent is being dispensed with.
In view of the submissions made as above, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1 st respondent to process Ext.P3 loan application submitted by the petitioners in the light of relevant RBI norms and the rules of the 1 st respondent. A final decision shall be taken in the matter within a period of three weeks and communicated to the petitioners.
