WPMS No. 2072 of 2008 Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Shri Navneet Kaushik, advocate for the petitioner. Shri Arvind Vashistha, learned Assistant Solicitor General of India for the respondents. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to release the deducted amount from the running bills of the petitioner to the tune of Rs. 383,296/- Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner was granted a contract by the respondent authorities for supply of meat dressed and chicken (broiler) dressed for a period 2008-09. The respondents appear to have started making the deduction from the running bills of the petitioner on the ground that Clause 7(b) and Clause 7 (c) of the agreement are being violated by the petitioner. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents in which preliminary objection has been raised that the dispute between the parties is covered under Arbitration Clause. And on that ground, it is pleaded on behalf of the respondents that the writ petition is not maintainable. The respondents are ready to refer the matter to the Arbitrator if an application is made on behalf of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner, in the above circumstances, states that he is ready to take the matter to the arbitration and seeks to withdraw the writ petition. According, the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn, as prayed by the petitioner with liberty to seek the remedy available to him. (Stay application No. 8010 of 2008, stands dismissed). The civil application I.A. No. 46 of 2009, stands allowed to take the counter affidavit in record). (P.C.P., J.) Dt. 09.01.2009 S
