The petitioner has preferred the present petition with the following prayers "Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to consider and decide the grievance of the petitioner with regard to the payment of amount against the materials supplied by the concerned firms for development work in Gram Panchayat Sirsiya Pawar and Pipara Babu Patti, Vikas Khand Bankata, Tehsil-Bhatpar Rani, District-Deoria in the year 2015-16 expeditiously within specific period of time strictly accordance with law." 3. Facts as contained in the writ petition are that the petitioner no.1 is a permanent resident of village Sirsiya Pawar, Post-Bhawani Chhapar, Vikas Khanel Bankata, Tehsil Bhatpar Rani, District-Deoria and he is Ex-Kshetra Panchayat Sadasya and petitioner no. 2 is resident of Village Pipara Babu Patti, Block-Bankata, District- Deoria. It is stated in paragraphs 6 & 7 of the petition that in the year 2015-2016 the petitioners were duly permitted by the official concerned to do Khadanja and interlocking work in gram Sabha Sirsiya Pawar and Pipara Babu Patti. Thereafter the petitioners completed the aforesaid work. It is stated that present Gram Pradhan has made RCC Road over the Khadanja and when the petitioners stopped him then they were assured by the pradhan and village development officer concerned that they had made a paper mentioning therein that below RCC road previously Khadanja is situated but nothing has been given to the petitioners. 4. It is argued by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner had done the construction work in the year 2015-16 and considerable time has already been lapsed but till date no payment has been made in favour of the petitioners and prays that the respondent be directed to make the payment of amount against material supplied. 5. On the other hand it is argued by learned Standing Counsel that nothing has been brought on record that under which authority the raw material was supplied and the construction work was done by him. 6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 7. From perusal of the record, it is clear that nothing has been placed any document before the Court that on which basis the raw material was supplied and the construction work was done by him. Apart from the same relief sought in the present petition for the payment of the work done in the year 2015-16, i.e., after lapse of more than 8 years. 8. In this view of the matter, the Court is of the opinion that the petition lacks merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. 9. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs.
