Final Disposition: The petitions were disposed with directions for timely payment of admitted amounts. Several petitions were allowed with a six-month deadline to release admitted liabilities; others mandated tripartite arrangements with funding agencies and a three-month period for release where applicable. In cases with disputed liability, the repository of the remedy remains in civil court; petitions related to representations were to be processed within a month, with subsequent payment within six months. The judgment also orders that where funds have yet to be released by funding agencies, appropriate steps be taken to ensure timely disbursement, while preserving the petitioners’ rights to pursue civil litigation for disputed amounts.

Case Synopsis & Summary

The batch of writ petitions concerns payment of amounts due from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) to various contractors who undertook contract works. The petitioners claim that sums admitted by BSNL are outstanding and unpaid, while BSNL contends that many claims are disputed or not properly evidenced, and that the matter is contractual in nature requiring civil suits. The court relies on established jurisprudence recognizing a public-law element in government contracts and the maintainability of writ petitions under Article 226 for disposal of admitted liabilities, while reserving civil remedies for disputed amounts. It cites the Full Bench decision in State of Kerala v. TV Anil to justify writ relief for admitted bills, and invokes Ramana Dayaram Shetty to emphasize that state action in contractual obligations must be reasonable, non-arbitrary and informed by reason. The MSMED Act is held not to bar writ jurisdiction. The judgment directs payment of admitted amounts within six months, and provides for tripartite arrangements (where external funding is involved) with timelines ranging from three to six months for release. It also allows for civil suits for disputed liabilities and requires proper documentary evidence (bills, utilization certificates, etc.). The Appendix contains numerous exhibits evidencing contracts, invoices and representations.

Provisions of Law Cited

Constitution of India Article 12Constitution of India Article 226MSMED Act, 2006 - Chapter VPartnership Act, 1932 - Section 69

Legal Doctrines & Maxims

Public-law element in contracts; public duty involved in state contractual obligations (State of Kerala v. TV Anil, FB)
Writ jurisdiction under Article 226 to direct payment of admitted amounts in contractual disputes ( Ramana Dayaram Shetty principle)
State action in contractual obligations must be reasonable and non-arbitrary (Ramana Dayaram Shetty)
MSMED Act does not bar jurisdiction of High Court in writ petitions to enforce admitted liabilities

Submissions & Arguments

Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners

The petitioners argue that large portions of the bills are admitted liabilities and BSNL has no lawful basis to withhold payment where the evidence (work orders, invoices, final bills, etc.) is available. They emphasize public-law elements in government contracting and seek direct payment of admitted amounts under Article 226, while clarifying that disputed amounts should be resolved in civil courts. They stress MSMED Act does not bar writ jurisdiction and urge prompt payment within six months, with representations to fill any gaps.

Contentions of Respondents

BSNL contends that many claims are contractual/factual disputes; there is a lack of bills and evidence in several petitions; they argue for civil remedies for disputed amounts and for tripartite arrangements with funding agencies where external funding is involved. They contend the writ petition should not determine disputed liability and emphasize financial stringency as a constraint.

The petitioners contend that they are entitled to the payment of amounts which are essentially admitted by the BSNL. They contend that the refusal on the part of the BSNL to release the amounts due after extracting the work from them is completely unsustainable in law. W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 48 2.Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners in these writ petitions and the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents as assisted by the respective standing counsel. 3.Counter affidavits have been filed in many of these cases. In the counter affidavits filed, it is contended that the amounts claimed are in respect of contractual claims between the parties and in the absence of specific admission of the amounts by the respondents, these writ petitions would not be maintainable before this Court. It is contended that in some of these cases, no bills are produced and that even the nature of the work undertaken and the amounts due are not properly mentioned. It is stated that the question whether any amount is liable to be paid in terms of the contract between the parties is a question of fact which can be decided only after taking evidence and that this Court should not consider the writ petitions. In some of these cases, it is contended that the petitioners are Micro, Small or Medium Enterprises which are covered by the provisions of the Micro Small and Medium 49 W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases Enterpises Development Act, 2006 (MSMED Act for short) and there is a bar to claim any relief for goods supplied or services rendered before any court, expect in terms of Chapter 5 of the said special enactment. - 4.Apart from placing affidavits on record in these cases, the learned Senior Counsel has also made available a breakup of cases for the convenience of this Court. - 5.The learned counsel for the petitioners would rely on a decision of a Full Bench of this Court reported in State of Kerala and others v. T.V.Anil [2002 (1) KLT 371 (FB)]. After considering the case law on the point, the Full Bench held that it cannot be said in absolute terms that a writ petition is not maintainable in contractual matters including where the Contractors seek enforcement of the obligation on the part of the State to pay the admitted bill amounts. It was held that there is a public law element in contracts where the State is a party, and that it follows that there is public duty involved and therefore the High Court will be well within its jurisdiction to W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 50 consider the writ petitions seeking payment of amounts admittedly due. 6.The learned Senior Counsel on the other hand relied on the Constitution Bench decision of the Apex Court in Moti Das v. S.P. Sahi [AIR 1959 SC 942], D.L.F.Housing Construction (P) Ltd. v. Delhi Municipal Corporation and others [(1976) 3 SCC 160] M/s.Burmah Construction Co. v. State of Orissa and others [AIR 1962 SC 1320], K.S.Rashid and son v. Income Tax Investigation Commission, etc. [1954 SCR 738, N.T.Abraham v. State of Kerala and others [(1999) 9 SCC 280] , Central Bank of India v. Rooplal Bansal [(1999) 9 SCC 254], Jai Singh v. Union of India and others [(1977) 1 SCC 1]. It is contended by the learned Senior Counsel that the decisions of the Apex Court are authority on the point that factual aspects cannot be investigated in writ proceedings and that where the relationships between the parties is contractual in nature, the intervention of the High Court under Article 226 would not be justified since the civil remedy of suit is readily available to the parties. The learned Senior Counsel submits that in most 51 ## W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases of these cases the claim is not admitted in full. It is, therefore, contended that the entire claim would, therefore, have to be adjudicated before a civil court having jurisdiction and directions by this Court to pay admitted amounts would not be justified. It is submitted that the petitioners/contractors cannot approach two Forums in respect of the same claim on the ground that part of the claim is admitted and part of it is not. It is, therefore, contended that the writ petitions are liable to be dismissed, leaving open the contentions of the parties to be decided in appropriate proceedings. 7.I have considered the contentions advanced. The question raised in these writ petitions is with regard to payment of the admitted amount due from the BSNL Ltd. It is not in dispute before me that the respondent answers the definition of State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India. It is also not in dispute that the amounts are due on account of contracts entered into between the respondents and the petitioners, who are the contractors. In most of these cases, at least part of the liability is admitted. In the above factual situation, in cases W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 52 where there is admission of liability and where no complicated questions of fact arise for consideration, the power of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct payment of admitted amounts by a State or its instrumentality cannot be said to be foreclosed merely by the existence of an alternate remedy. The contention of the petitioners that there is a bar under the Micro Small and Medium Enterpises Development Act, 2006 is also absolutely untenable, since Chapter V of the said Act only provides for a remedy to such enterprises for recovery of amounts by recourse to the Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council and does not expressly or impliedly bar the jurisdiction of other Forums available to such enterprises. Even otherwise, a statutory bar provided in Chapter V of the MSMED Act, cannot extend to excluding the writ jurisdiction of this Court being exercised under the Constitution of the Country. 8.A factual dispute can be said to exist only where the respondents are bona fide disputing their liability and not in cases where the State or its instrumentality raises vexatious W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 53 and untenable disputes only in order to delay payments of amounts due to its citizens even if the amounts are payable under a contract. The decisions of the Apex Court from the celebrated decision of Ramana Dhayaram Shetty v. The International Airport Authority of India [AIR 1979 SC 1628] are authority on the point that all action of the State including in its exercise of contractual obligations should be informed by reason and be non-arbitrary in character. In the above view of the matter, the contention that the respondents cannot be directed by this Court to meet even their admitted liability is completely untenable and such argument is devoid of merits. 9.Hence, there will be a direction to the respondents to pay the admitted amounts due to the petitioners in these writ petitions. In view of the pleadings as to financial stringency, payments shall be made within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. With regard to any bona fide dispute as to the extent of liability, the right of the petitioners to approach the appropriate civil court for adjudication of the amounts actually due is left open. In cases W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 54 where there are no bills produced so as to decide whether the liability is admitted or not, the representations, if any, submitted by the petitioners shall be considered and appropriate orders shall be passed by the respondents, either admitting or denying their liability and specifically stating what part of liability is admitted. In all such cases, the petitioners shall be permitted to make additional representations producing the bills or the material, if any, before the competent among the respondents for a proper consideration of the issue. In those cases also, the amounts found due after a proper consideration shall be released within a period of six months from the date on which orders are passed on the representations. In cases where liability is disputed, the right of the contractors to approach the appropriate civil courts will be left open. 10.In two of these writ petitions, that is, W.P.(C).Nos.31714/19 & 32503/19, the contention is that the firms in question are not registered partnership firms and therefore Section 69 of the Partnership Act, 1932 stands in the way of the said firms W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 55 suing for release of amounts. I notice that the work has been awarded to the firm in question and the bills have been duly raised by the firm. The respondents, therefore, cannot take up a claim that the firm is not registered and therefore cannot sue in its name, to defeat the admitted claims. 11.In four of these writ petitions, that is, 27660/19, 34913/19, 32577/19 & 32610/19, it is contended that the payments are to be made after receipt of amounts from external agencies which were involved in sanctioning and carrying out of the work and therefore there can be no direction to the BSNL to pay such amounts. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners that in all of these cases the external agencies have been impleaded as respondents and that appropriate directions are to be issued to those respondents to meet the liabilities, if necessary. In some of these cases, statements have also been filed by the National Health Mission, which was the funding agency, wherein it is stated that the details of the pending bills have not been reported by the BSNL to the funding agency and that the funding agency has already W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 56 released 95% of the payment in respect of the works in question to the BSNL. It is stated that if the appropriate authority in the BSNL is ready to execute the tripartite agreement with the funding agency and contractors, the balance amount shall also be released without delay on production of the final fill bill along with utilisation certificate, audited statement, completion certificate, completion plan and structural stability certificate. 12.In W.P.(C).Nos.31220/2019 and 33430/2019, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the respondents that the entire liability in respect of these cases are admitted. A counter affidavit is also placed on record to that effect. In the above view of the matter, the respondents are liable to pay the entire amounts found due shall be released to the petitioners. 13.In the above view of the matter, W.P.(C).Nos.31220/2019 and 33430/2019 are allowed. The competent among the respondents shall pay the entire amounts found due within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 57 W.P.(C).Nos.35597/2019 and 813/2020 are allowed. The competent among the respondents shall release payment of the amounts due under the bills within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. W.P.(C).Nos.31714/19 and 32503 of 2019 are allowed. The competent among the respondents shall release payment of the amounts due under the bills within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. W.P.(C).Nos.27660/2019, 34913/2019, 32577/2019 & 32610/2019 are disposed of. There will be a direction to the competent among respondents to enter into a tripartite agreement with the petitioner and the National Health Mission for the release of the amounts due. All necessary certificates shall be furnished and amounts due shall be released by the National Health Mission and the amounts so released shall be paid to the petitioners without delay, at any rate within a period of three months form the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. W.P.(C).No.34741/2019 is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to make the payment due as and when the W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases 58 amounts are received from the KUFOS, which was the funding agency to pay the amounts due to the petitioner on such amounts. W.P.(C).Nos.35721/19, 652/2020, 31925/2019, 32159/19, 31225/19, 32074/19, 33726/19, 31948/19, 31202/2019, 33466/2019, 33435/19, 30701/2019 & 30826/2019 are disposed of. There will be a direction to the competent among the respondents to take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on the detailed representations submitted by the petitioner, taking note of the documents produced within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. On the basis of orders passed, the admitted amounts due shall be released to the petitioners within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. This will not prejudice the right of the petitioners to move civil suits or other proceedings contemplated in law with regard to any disputed liability. W.P.(C).Nos.33286/19, 31181/2019 and 34930/2019 are disposed of directing the competent among the respondents to 59 W.P.(C).Nos.35597/19 & con.cases release the admitted amounts due to the petitioners within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. This will be without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to raise claims before the appropriate court or the authority, as the case may be, in respect of the disputed liability.
