Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties. 2. In the present writ petition following substantial prayer has been made by the petitioner:- "(a) issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to ensure payment of amount due to be paid to the petitioner for supply of items under supply order dated 27.06.2018 issued by respondent no.4 within reasonable period as this Hon'ble Court may specify;" 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a registered firm engaged in the business of medicines and medical equipment and he was accepted as successful bidder for supplying medicines. The petitioner was issued six supply orders dated June 27, 2018 for the supply of items mentioned in said order. The petitioner fulfilled the same by October 2018, and the goods were received and utilized by the respondent authorities without any quality disputes. The Petitioner contends that despite providing supply order and bills to respondents whenever they are sought for, a sum of Rs.3,30,520/- remains unpaid even after numerous representations to respondent authorities, and completing all formalities, the delay in payment is unjustified, attributing it to harassment and oblique motives by the authorities. 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents has admitted the liability to the extent of Rs.3,30,520/- and submits that the said amount is pending. Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Ram Bachan Yadav, Ram Naresh Shukla, Ram Sakal Yadav Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C. M/S Life Line Care .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. And 3 Others .....Respondent(s) 5.

With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. September 25, 2025 Dev WRIC No. 13594 of 2020 2 (Praveen Kumar Giri,J.) (Shekhar B. Saraf,J.)
