Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P7. By Ext.P7
order, Ext.P6 application made by the petitioner claiming
interest on the payment made belatedly has been rejected. A
reading of Ext.P7 shows that according to the respondent, it was
for reasons which are not attributable to them that delay has
occurred. Therefore, if the petitioner is to succeed, necessarily
the facts stated in Ext.P7 will have to be disproved, which cannot
be done in a writ petition. In such circumstances, the remedy
available to the petitioner is to move the civil court. Writ
petition is closed leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the
civil court.
Writ Petition is dismissed.
