The petitioner did not carry out the work as per the agreement. Now the petitioner seeks return of the security deposit on the ground that the petitioner could not execute the agreement because of the circumstances beyond his control. I am of opinion that this is a matter in respect of which the petitioner should seek remedies in a civil suit. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to seek remedies in a suit, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
