2026:UHC:4206 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPMS No.1568 of 2026 Hon'ble Pankaj Purohit, J. Mr. Shubhr Rastogi, learned Counsel for petitioner. 2. Mr. N.K. Papnoi, learned S.C. for the State- respondent no.1. 3. Mr. S.S. Chauhan, learned Counsel for respondent nos.2 to 4. 4. By means of this petition, petitioner has sought a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to make outstanding payment of the work done by petitioner’s father being the Contractor in Dev Prayag Jalotsav Yojna in compliance of Agreement No.02/GM/2010- 11. A further writ of certiorari has been sought to quash the order dated 28.12.2013 passed by respondents. It is further prayed to quash the order dated 27.01.2014 passed by respondent no.4 whereby the respondents have forfeited the amount of FDRs deposited by petitioner’s father as contractor in the aforesaid project. 5. It appears that through this writ petition, petitioner intends to revive a matter which has already come to an end much earlier. Petitioner’s father was given a contract by the respondents in the year 2010. The said contract was determined by respondent no.2 on 28.12.2013. The payment of contract was also made in the year 2019. 6. Present petition has been filed by petitioner with the request to direct the respondents to make 2026:UHC:4206 outstanding payments pursuant to the said contract and to quash the order whereby the FDRs were forfeited by the respondents. 7. The cause of action of filing the present petition appears to be highly time barred. The petitioner is now estopped from raising the same claim again before this Court which has already been settled. It is a settled position of law that once a relief arising from the same cause of action has either been declined or omitted without liberty, a subsequent proceeding seeking the same or substantially connected relief, is not maintainable in law. 8. In such view of the matter, the Court is of the opinion that writ jurisdiction cannot be invoked in such type of matters. No interference is warranted. The writ petition is dismissed at the threshold itself. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 27.05.2026 R.Dang
