4.wp.10908-09 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.10908 OF 2009 Shri Vithal Govind Zunjurke and another. ..Petitioners. Versus State of Maharashtra and 3 others. ..Respondents. .... Mr.A.V. Anturkar, Advocate i/b. Mr.Sugandh B. Deshmukh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr.S.R. Nargolkar, AGP for respondent Nos.1 & 2. Mr.A.P. Kulkarni, Advocate for respondent Nos.3 & 4. .... CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH, AND A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 21ST JANUARY, 2010. P.C.:- 1. The petitioners by this Petition seeks enforcement of contractual obligations imposed on the respondent - Corporation. The settled law is that the High Court in exercise of its extraordinary jurisdiction under the Constitution does not enforce contractual obligations. The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners submit that the clause in the contract of which enforcement is sought is relevant to pension and as the ordinary remedy takes 4.wp.10908-09 2 long time, the Court should exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction. If this argument is accepted all cases of enforcement of contractual rights against public authorities will have to be entertained in writ jurisdiction. In our opinion, bypassing of alternate remedy is not to be permitted as a matter of course. In our opinion, we will be setting a bad precedent if we entertain this Petition. Hence, Writ Petition is rejected. (D.K.DESHMUKH,J) (A.R. JOSHI,J)
