We had also indicated therein that the States should come forward with proposed schemes so that the fund may be utilised for the purpose for which it was collected. The fund is now lying with the Ad-hoc CAMPA. We are told that so far 23 proposals have come from various States/Union Territories and are pending consideration of Ad-hoc CAMPA. The Ad-hoc CAMPA will scrutinize the feasibility of these proposals and shall file a report within a period of six weeks before this Court. Thereafter further orders will be passed for utilisation of the fund to implement the approved schemes submitted by the various States/U.T.s. The States/Union Territories, which have not submitted their proposals or wants to submit fresh proposals, may submit their proposals to the Ad-hoc CAMPA within a period of four weeks. Send a copy of this order to the Chief Secretary of each State/Union Territory for taking further steps. Status quo, as on today, shall be maintained as regards the maintenance of the account. Issue notice to the States/Union Territories. Four weeks time is granted to file reply. List after six weeks. (G.V.Ramana) (Madhu Saxena) Court Master Court Master
