- Nature of Proceeding: Writ petition (WPMS/2176/2026) filed seeking a mandamus directing respondents to pay outstanding dues with interest and carrying charges related to Jaspur and Kashipur Mills, and to address delayed lifting of goods taken for those mills, which have been taken over by the respondents along with assets and liabilities.
- Relief Sought: Issuance of a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing immediate payment of the outstanding amount with interest and carrying charges.
- Court’s Reasoning: The Court observed that the relief sought pertains to a monetary recovery claim, which must be pursued in a competent court through a money recovery suit, not via a writ petition. Consequently, the Court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition.
Final Outcome

- No monetary award or injunction is granted by this Court.
