The respondents have not denied their liability but it is stated that the Corporation would make the payment as and when it would receive the 9 of 10 ::: Downloaded on - 13-05-2018 08:16:37 ::: Page 10 of 10 CWP No. 1900 of 2018 and 79 other connected cases necessary funds. It is also submitted that there may be a difference of opinion about the amount claimed by the petitioner(s) which shall be decided/sorted out after associating the petitioner(s).
Since, the petitioner(s) have prayed for a writ in the nature of mandamus which can be issued by this Court only if there is a right vested with the petitioner(s) and there is a corresponding duty on the part of the respondent-Corporation. In the present case, neither the rights of the petitioner have been denied nor the respondent-Corporation has denied its liability, therefore, keeping in view the aforesaid facts and circumstances, present bunch of writ petitions are hereby disposed with a direction to the respondent- Corporation to release the payment to the petitioners, in which there is no dispute, within four months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. In case, where there is some dispute raised by them then the respondent- Corporation would associate the petitioner(s) for the purpose of sorting out the said dispute and shall make the payment accordingly.
A photocopy of this order be placed on the files of the connected cases.
