Ext.P1 is the agreement. According to him, an amount of `3,27,000/- is due from the second respondent and payment of the said amount was claimed. On that claim, petitioner received Ext.P3 reply, wherein, the second respondent has taken the stand that the amounts due to the petitioner have already been paid. It is challenging Ext.P3 and seeking a declaration that the amount is liable to be paid, this writ petition has been filed. 2. From the above, it is evident that the relationship between the parties is purely contractual and the liability that is sought to be enforced is a disputed one. Such a dispute cannot be the subject matter of a writ petition. Writ petition fails and accordingly, it is dismissed. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks/08/11 // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
