THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.15900 of 2005 DATE: 09-08-2005 Between: M.Govindaiah …… Petitioner And The District Collector, Chittoor District, Chittoor and two others …… Respondents ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Irrigation and Command Area Development and their request the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite his having executed the works and the 3rd respondent having addressed a letter to the 1st respondent on 3-12-1999, informing that amount is due to several persons for works executed by them including the petitioner herein, the said amount has not been paid to him. It is settled law that money claims are matters which are not, normally, adjudicated in proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that the petitioner has filed a representation before the 3rd respondent on 26-10-2004 seeking payment of the said amount with interest, and that he is merely seeking a direction that his representation be considered. The 3rd respondent, shall consider the representation of the petitioner and take action in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. _________ 9-8-2005 asp
