IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.990 of 2010 Rabindra Kumar Singh Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 02/ 24th June 2011 Heard the parties. This appeal has been filed against the order dated 14.05.2010 passed in CWJC No. 18927 of 2008 wherein prayer was made for payment of amount under contract. The learned single Judge by order dated 14.05.2010 dismissed the writ petition as infructuous keeping in view the fact that the payment was already made during the pendency of the writ petition. The grievance in the appeal is that there is no direction by the learned single Judge relating to interest thereon. The writ petition filed by the petitioner was itself not maintainable relating to amount claimed by him under the work contract. So the interest thereon cannot be claimed as a right flowing from the contract. It is well settled law that no mandamus can be issued to force a contractual right. Hence, the appeal is devoid of merit. The same is dismissed. perwez (Prakash Chandra Verma, J.) (Aditya Kumar Trivedi, J.)
