THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.32046 of 2010 DT.21.12.2010 Between: M/s.Vijay Leasing Company (VLC) … Petitioner And M/s.A.P.Mineral Development Corporation Limited … Respondent Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri B.Chandrasen Reddy Counsel for respondent: Sri V.Subrahmanyam The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside letter No.APMDC/Mining/VLC-SCKC/2010-II/3729, dated 14.12.2010, of the respondent. I have heard Sri B.Chandrasen Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri V.Subrahmanyam, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. A perusal of the record shows that the entire dispute arises under the non-statutory commercial contract entered into between the petitioner and the respondent. Ordinarily, this Court does not entertain the writ petitions filed raising disputes arising under such contracts, even though one of the contracting party is the State or its instrumentalities. The petitioner is entitled to invoke the common law remedies available to it for resolving the disputes arising under such contract (see State of U.P. v. Bridge & Roof Co. (India) Ltd.,[1] and Radha Krishna Agarwal v. State of Bihar[2]). In the premises as above, the writ petition is dismissed, without going into the merits of the case, with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate remedy. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40740 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
