THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.19676 of 2002 October 13, 2009 Between: C.Eeshwar Reddy, S/o.Late C.Yerikala Reddy …Petitioner and The Mandal Revenue Officer, Pedda Mudiam Mandal, Kadapa District And others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.19676 of 2002 ORDER: The petitioner had been a civil contractor. Some time in 1992 or thereabout he was awarded a contract relating to the works of S.R.B.C. Command Area. He completed the work. According to him, thereafter, he did not undertake any contract work. On 23.9.2002, first respondent issued a notice demanding a sum of Rs.5,01,795/-. It is alleged in the notice that the said amount was paid in excess of the bills, and therefore, action would be initiated under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Revenue Recovery Act, 1864. The amount is not paid. Assailing the notice issued by first respondent, present writ petition is filed. The petitioner contends that the amount was paid to him as per the bills, and therefore, the impugned notice issued after a decade alleging excess payment is illegal and arbitrary. This Court while admitting writ petition stayed further proceedings on condition of petitioner depositing a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- only in two equal instalments by 10.11.2002 and 10.12.2002. When the matter is taken up for hearing, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioner has not complied with the interim orders passed by this Court and has not deposited Rs.2,00,000/-. Thus the petitioner disobeyed the orders of this Court. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to show discretion in his favour. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) October 13, 2009 YS
