Petitioner had entered into an agreement for construction of side protection wall and culvert for tractor passage to Chittacode -Vattaman-Ela under the SGRY Scheme 2003-2004. Apparently, the construction was not undertaken as agreed to. Petitioner also has a contention regarding non-receipt of 70% of the contract amount which was to be disbursed as food grains. Apparently, petitioner sought for cancellation of work and exoneration from liability. 2. Taking note of the averments in the writ petition and the nature of the dispute raised by the petitioner, I am of the view that petitioner's remedy lies before the Civil Court. In the circumstances, it might be necessary for the petitioner to issue a notice under Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure to enable him to effectively approach the Civil Court. W.P ( C) No. 2399 of 2008 2 In the result, this writ petition is disposed of reserving the right of the petitioner to approach before the Civil Court. Further enforcement of Exhibit P4 shall be kept in abeyance for a period of ten weeks from today. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No. 2399 of 2008 2 K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A.
