Anilkumar K.V vs. The Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited
Facts
The petitioner, K.V.Anilkumar, filed a writ petition seeking to quash a letter dated 23/07/2021 issued by the 4th respondent, the General Manager (Projects) of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). The petitioner also sought a direction to the respondents to disburse a sum of Rs. 2,63,92,632.47/-. This amount was claimed on account of the final bill, GST amount, security deposit recovered from running account bills, and performance guarantee amount recovered. The petition was filed before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court.
Held
The learned Counsel for the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the Writ Petition and made an endorsement to that effect. The Court granted this permission. Consequently, the Writ Petition was dismissed as withdrawn, with no costs awarded. The connected miscellaneous petitions were also closed. The judgment does not delve into the merits of the petitioner's claim regarding the final bill, GST, security deposit, or performance guarantee, as the case was disposed of on the petitioner's request for withdrawal.
Key Issues
The Court had to decide whether to grant the relief sought by the petitioner. The petitioner's primary contention was that the respondents should be directed to pay the outstanding amounts, including the final bill, GST, security deposit, and performance guarantee. The respondents' arguments are not recorded in the judgment. The core issue revolves around the disbursement of contractual dues and statutory amounts to the petitioner by HPCL.
