The Executive Engineer, Road Construction Department, Khagaria................................................................................Respondents ------------ 4 7-7-2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State. The writ court has considered the relevant facts which show that the dispute arises out of a simple contract relating to construction of road and hence the matter has been relegated for consideration by a statutory authority specially created for this purpose under the Bihar Public Works Contract Disputes Arbitration Tribunal Act, 2008. We are not persuaded to go into the merits of the various contentions raised by Mr. Y.V. Giri Sr. Advocate in order to assail the impugned order of the Government because any discussion in the matter may affect the case of the parties. It is well settled that in exercise of writ 2 jurisdiction, this Court refuses to entertain a dispute directly where the statutory remedy is provided by an Act. That being the position in this case, we find no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Shivaji Pandey, J )
