SANJAY KUMAR vs MUKHYA NAGAR ADHIKARI NAGAR NIGAM HARIDWAR Advocate - SANDEEP KOTHARI — WPMS/1592/2026

Case Summary: WPMS/1592/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Uttarakhand disposed of multiple consolidated writ petitions by directing Sanjay Kumar and other petitioners to submit fresh representations to Nagar Nigam Haridwar within two weeks. The respondent Municipal Corporation must then consider and decide these representations within eight weeks by passing reasoned orders in accordance with law. Key Facts: Petitioners completed civil works awarded by Nagar Nigam Haridwar during 2024-2025 but remained unpaid despite completion. They initially sought a mandamus directing payment with 18% per annum interest. Reasoning: The court, with consent from both parties, adopted a softer approach in the interest of justice rather than issuing a direct mandamus, granting petitioners an opportunity for administrative reconsideration before the Municipal Corporation.
