HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 7480 of 2010 ORDER: The relief sought for in this writ petition is for a mandamus to set aside the impugned Memo No.CE(M)/GHMC/TA-II/K3/2009- 197 dated 07.09.2009 issued by the second respondent. The petitioner would contend that, in response to an invitation to tender, his bid was found to be the most competitive; a Work Order dated 05.01.2010 was issued in his favour; and an agreement No.165/2009-10 dated 05.01.2010 was concluded. He would contend that the work of widening the C.C. Road by ready mix at V.N. Reddy Nagar was required to be completed within a stipulated period and payment of Rs.5,34,668.00 was to be made under the said order. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Kapra Circle, however, released only an amount of Rs.4,83,591/- after deducting income tax, sales tax, seignoerage charges and escalation in the price of cement of Rs.51,077/- from his work order bill. It is his case that the Corporation relied on certain Government Orders for such deduction though the contract provided to the contrary and that such deduction of Rs.51,007/- was contrary to the terms and conditions of the contract. It is not in dispute that the contract in question is not referable to any statutory provision or rule. The petitioner, in effect, alleges violation of the terms and conditions of a non- statutory contract and seeks its enforcement. This Court would, ordinarily, not adjudicate disputes arising from non-statutory contracts. I see no reason to exercise discretion to entertain a Writ Petition seeking enforcement of contractual obligations since these matters are better adjudicated in Civil proceedings before a Civil Court of competent jurisdiction. Leaving it open to the petitioner, if he so chooses, to avail the alternative remedies available to him in law, including, if need be, by way of a Civil Suit before a Civil Court of competent jurisdiction, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date:06.04.2010 usd
