Respondents. ============================ 2. 22.06.2011 This appeal has been filed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge passed in C.W.J.C. No.7075 of 2008. The claim of the petitioner was for payment of a bill which was raised by him for the work constructed by him in a work of contract. It is settled law that no mandamus can be issued to force a contractual right, therefore, writ petition was not maintainable. Learned Single Judge has rightly dismissed the writ petition. The appeal is dismissed. However, appellant is given liberty to avail remedy which is under the law. (Prakash Chandra Verma, J.) (Aditya Kumar Trivedi, J.) PN
