The present writ petition has been filed for following reliefs:- “For issuance of an appropriate writ/writs, order/orders, direction/directions or a writ in the nature of Mandamus commanding and directing upon the respondents to accept the claimed amount/dues of the respondent from the petitioner to the tune of Rs.6,30,000/- (Rupees Six Lac Thirty Thousand) and be further pleased to absolve the petitioner from all the liabilities towards the work of water shed scheme allotted to him in the year 1997-98.” 3. Admittedly, it is the matter of contractual dues and the petitioner wants to avoid the contractual liability which cannot be allowed or considered under the writ jurisdiction. 4. Earlier, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing a writ petition being W.P.(C) No.3626 of 2019 which was dismissed as withdrawn vide order 2026:JHHC:1317 Page No.2 W.P.(C) No.6089 of 2025 dated 25th October, 2019, with liberty to the petitioner to search out the remedy for redressal of his grievance. The present writ petition has been filed for the same cause of action in second attempt. 5. In view of the above discussion, I find no reason to entertain the present writ petition. Accordingly, the same is hereby, dismissed. (Rajesh Kumar, J.) 19th January, 2026 Amar/Raja Uploaded on 21.01.2026
