              "Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the
      Respondents in not releasing the amounts for supplying

the machineries/equipments to the respondent authorities by the petitioner even though admitted amounts of Rs.28,07,935/- is illegal, arbitrary, unjust, unfair and violation of principles of natural justice contrary to the Rules and Regulations and consequently direct the Respondents to pay the admitted amounts of Rs.28,07,935/- with cumulative interest".

2. The contention of the petitioner is that the petitioner is a

Proprietor of Sri Pandu Ranga Agro Industries and its activities is

petitioner is that the Government have to release the subsidy

amount of Rs.28,07,935/- for the year 2018-2019 towards

supply of agriculture implements under various Government

Schemes. Further, it is the contention of the learned counsel for

the petitioner that even though the respondents admitted that

the petitioner is entitled for payment of the aforesaid sums of

money, no payment is being made and such non-payment of

money is clearly arbitrary and high-handed and thereby requires

interference by this court.

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 three(3) weeks from the

date of receipt of a copy of this order and thereafter to 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.
