W.P.No.30396 of 2022
ORDER:-
This writ petition is filed seeking the following relief:-
"Writ Order or direction more particularly
one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring
the action of the respondents 1 and 2 in not
releasing the subsidy amount of Rs.42,62,601/- towards supply of John Deere Tractors and agriculture implements under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanisation (SMAM) and Rythu Radham for the year 2017-18 and 2018-19 inspite of receiving the company's representation dated.21.07.2020 and mere generating the CFMS tokens as illegal arbitrary and violation of principles of natural justice and consequently direct the respondents to release subsidy amount of Rs.42,62,601/- along with interest towards supply of John Deere Tractors and agriculture implements under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana RKVY Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanisation SMAM and Rythu Radham for the year 2017-18 and 2018-19."
2. The contention of the petitioner is that he is doing the business for supply of Tractors and agricultural implements to agricultural farmers; that he supplied the John Deere Tractors and agricultural implements to the farmers as per the directions of the respondents and in that process an amount of Rs.42,62,601/- has to be paid by the respondents. Further, 2 it is the contention of the petitioner that even though the respondents admitted that the petitioner is entitled for payment of the aforesaid amount, no payment is being made. The petitioner contends that such non-payment of money is clearly arbitrary and high-handed requiring the interference of this court.
3. This court, in various orders, including the judgment of a learned single Judge of this court, dated 05-10-2021 in W.P.No.10038 of 2021 and batch had taken the view that such non-payment of dues is arbitrary and that such dues need to be cleared by the respondents at the earliest.
4. The learned Government Pleader submits that the respondents-authorities are verifying the claims of the petitioner and would be in a position to make payments only after such verification is being completed.
5. In view of the aforesaid directions of this court in various cases and after hearing both sides, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to complete the verification process within a period of four(4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and thereafter to 3 pay the amounts due to the petitioner depending upon the outcome of the verification within a period of six(6) weeks. It would also be open to the petitioner to agitate his/her/their claim for interest, if any payable by the respondents in an appropriate forum.
No order as to costs. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed.
