The petitioner society procured a work orders from Managing Director, Chhattisgarh State Seed and Agriculture Development Corporation Ltd. Raipur Seed Bhawan GE Road Teli Dam Raipur (Chhattisgarh) for providing soyabeen seeds for the kharif season 2014-2015,2017-18 and Chickpeas seeds for kharif season 2107-2018. The petitioner society completed the work and presented the bills for the respective kharif seasons but the same has not been fully paid by the respondent authorities due to which there is outstanding amount of Rs 36,73,120 which has not been duly paid to petitioner. As per conditions of work order the petitioner has to supply asked quality seeds and if any adulteration is found in the sample of seed the payment for the said adulteration won't be done to the petitioner. It is pertinent to mention here that the respondent company is obligated to pay 80% of the supplied seeds after the delivery and rest 20% of payment will be made after receiving of germination certificate. As per the byelaws respondent corporation the managing Director/respondent no 2 is the COMPETANT authority to decide and consider the representation made by the petitioner (Annexure P/1), yet they are inactive in 3 considering the petitioners' grievance. The Managing Director has the power to grant the payment related to tender and other business transactions. Hence this instant petition. 4.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case instead of keeping this petition pending, I find it appropriate to dispose of the same at this stage directing the respondent No. 2 & 3 to decide the pending representation of the petitioner dated 30.09.2024 in accordance with law/rules/regulations as expeditiously as possible. 7. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed anything on the merits of the case. 8. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is disposed of. SD/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) Judge Jyoti
