(NBCFDC) as per their existing pattern of financing i.e. 65% of the project cost as loan for NSFDC/NBCFDC to DSFDC for disbursal to beneficiary by adding 25% as its own share as margin money and the balance 10% (-) subsidy of Rs. 6,000/- by the beneficiary himself or through any other source like DFC, Nationalised Banks, etc.

17. Keeping in view the aforesaid scheme formulated by Government of NCT of Delhi pursuant to directions of the Supreme Court, as noted above, these writ petitions are disposed of with the following directions:

(I) The petitioners shall be permitted to apply for finance /loans under the aforesaid scheme either for conversion of their existing vehicles into CNG fuel mode wherever possible or for purchase of new vehicles.
(II) On petitioners' preferring loan applications which should be within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order, the respondent and/or Government of NCT of Delhi, NSFDC, NBCFDC or Transport Department shall consider these applications and take decision thereon within two months thereafter. I am conscious of the fact that the Government of NCT of Delhi or Transport Department or National Commission for Scheduled Caste are not parties in these petitions. However, keeping in view the fact that the scheme promulgated by the Government of NCT of Delhi itself entitles such persons like the petitioners to approach the aforesaid authorities under the scheme and if these persons make applications for this purpose, it is the obligation of these authorities to consider such request in accordance with the scheme, these directions are issued.
