    SUMMARY The Gauhati High Court dismissed three consolidated writ petitions filed by M/S Devi Udyog, a small-scale industry claiming unpaid bills totaling approximately Rs. 9-8.3 lakhs for materials supplied under MGNREGA during 2015-17. The court found that the Panchayat & Rural Development Department categorically denied the claims, stating no such bills were recorded in the Management Information System (MIS), creating disputed factual questions that cannot be resolved in writ jurisdiction. The petitions were dismissed, though the court granted the petitioner benefits under Section 14 of the Limitation Act to pursue claims in civil court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
