HARENDRA KUMAR SHARMA Vs. STATE OF U.P.

Decided On September 12, 2019
HARENDRA KUMAR SHARMA Appellant
V/S
STATE OF U.P. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard Sri Satish Chandra Dubey, Advocate, for petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for respondents.

(2.) Petitioner is seeking writ of mandamus commanding the respondent to pay Rs. 8,36,388/- in respect to work order which was issued in 2010 and work has been completed by petitioner in 2011.

(3.) Virtually this writ petition under Article 226 is nothing but a money suit for recovery of money, that too, in respect to certain dues for which remedy in common law has already become barred by limitation. So far as this writ petition is concerned, here also it suffers delay and laches and there is no explanation for laches of more than seven years. Therefore, we find that writ petition is liable to be dismissed for more than one reasons.
