The present writ application has been filed by the petitioner to make payment of the balance amount of certain supplies effected by him way back after the year 1995 pursuant to purchase order Nos.13 and 16 dated 21.9.1995. The stand of the respondents is that the petitioner had been paid money on the basis of supplies where there was no dispute. There is indication to show that the supplies made by the petitioner were short of specification both in terms of weight as well as stipulation but because of such a reason that the Board decided to pay him a sum of Rs.1,88,983/- vide cheque No. 058441 dated 27.9.2001. The other liability has been denied. The petitioner has now filed the present writ application after more than another six years claiming the balance amount. 2 In view of the background to the dispute and denial of liability by the respondents, no direction can be given in favour of the petitioner. If the petitioner has remedy under common law he may explore the same. The writ application is dismissed.. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
