DATED THIS THE 19TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2008
J U D G M E N T
In this writ petition, the petitioner mainly prays for a direction to
the respondent to release the amounts that are due to the petitioner
towards the value of the items supplied to them. Respondents have
filed a counter affidavit in which serious disputes have been raised
about their very liability. It is also contended that the claims made by
the petitioner is barred by limitation. In view of the contentions,
especially, concerning the very liability to the respondent, I do not
think that the petitioner can be granted any relief in a petition under
Article 226 of the Constitution of India. This writ petition is therefore
disposed of leaving open to the petitioner to pursue his claims in
appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to the contentions of
either side.
ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE.
