    Case Summary: M/S DEVI UDYOG v. THE STATE OF ASSAM Court Decision: The Gauhati High Court dismissed all three consolidated writ petitions (WP(C)/5296/2020, WP(C)/5388/2020, and WP(C)/5453/2020) filed by M/S Devi Udyog claiming unpaid MGNREGA material supply bills totaling approximately Rs. 9.74 lakhs, Rs. 8.32 lakhs, and Rs. 3.71 lakhs respectively. Key Reasoning: The court found that the State's categorical denial—supported by Block Development Officer letters stating no bills were uploaded in the Management Information System (MIS)—created disputed factual questions requiring evidence-based adjudication unsuitable for writ jurisdiction. However, the court granted the petitioner benefit under Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963, and permitted recourse to civil courts if legally permissible.
