Standing counsel for KSEB submitted that payment was delayed on account of vigilance case. In any case, I do not think there is any scope for this Court to grant any interest in writ proceedings as the matter arises under the contract between the parties. It is for the petitioner to seek remedy in civil court. W.P. is accordingly closed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
