As per case facts, the petitioner applied for a loan under the MKUY scheme for a layer farming project. A loan was sanctioned, and a go-ahead letter was issued. However,
...due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the project completion was delayed beyond the stipulated period. Despite project completion, the Opp. Party No.6 rejected the petitioner's claim for a subsidy, citing the delay. The petitioner appealed to the High Court challenging this rejection, arguing the delay was beyond control due to the pandemic. The question arose whether the delay in project completion, caused by the uncontrollable circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, justified the denial of the promised subsidy. Finally, the High Court held that the delay was not intentional or deliberate, given the pandemic's impact and Supreme Court rulings on extended timelines. The rejection by Opp. Party No.6 was deemed unjustified, and the High Court ordered the disbursement of the subsidy with interest.
