THE HONOURABLE Smt. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI Writ petition No.5317 of 2000 ORDER: The present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking a mandamus to declare the letter dated 17.1.2000 of the Divisional Manager, L.I.C. of India, Karimnagar Division, the 2nd respondent herein, as illegal and arbitrary. The facts in brief are that the petitioner herein was appointed as Development Officer by the respondent-Corporation in the year 1974. On finalisation of the appraisals for the period relating to 1977-78, 1978-79, 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83, the petitioner submitted the same to the respondents. Pursuant to which, the respondents sent a statement of account, to which, the petitioner submitted his objections on the ground that there are certain missing premiums and requested them to reopen his appraisals for the aforesaid periods and to pay the difference of incentives, bonus and Additional Conveyance. Accordingly the branch office after calculating the amounts payable to him on missing premiums, paid the same to him. While so, on 27.9.1999, the 2nd respondent sent a letter dated 27.9.1999 stating that excess amounts have been paid to him towards incentive, bonus and the A.C.A. by way of reopening of appraisals for the years 1977-78,1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83 and also requested him to refund a total amount of Rs.1,24,824.43 ps., immediately, failing which, it was stated that the respondents will take action against him for making wrongful claims and for receiving excess amount in respect of incentive, bonus and A.C.A. The petitioner submitted a detailed reply to the said letter stating that he is not liable to pay any amount and also requested to reopen the said appraisals afresh and if the respondents still feel that the petitioner is liable to pay any amount, he would pay the same. Subsequently, the respondents sent another letter dated 17.1.2000 to the petitioner calling upon him to pay the alleged excess amount within 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of the said letter, failing which, the same would be recovered from the amounts payable to him. Challenging the same, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents and perused the impugned orders. On a perusal of the letters dated 27.9.1999 and 17.1.2000 of the respondent No.2, it is seen that the Special Cell found that an excess amount to the tune of Rs.1,24,824.43 has been paid to the petitioner during the years 1977-78, 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83 on account of reopening of the appraisals for those years and the petitioner was asked to refund the same. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner disputed the same by stating that no excess amounts have been received by him. Admittedly, the question as to whether the petitioner received any excess amounts as alleged by the respondents in its letters referred to above, is a pure question of fact and the same cannot be gone into by this Court while exercising its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner requested the Court to permit the petitioner to file fresh representation to the respondents with all the relevant material. Reserving such liberty, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ___________________ T.MEENA KUMARI,J Date:29th July, 2010 pnb
