Writ jurisdiction may remain available for recovery of a GST component withheld from contractual dues where contractual performance, bills and the underlying transaction are undisputed, and the issue can be resolved from the acceptance letter and record. A term providing that GST is payable in addition to quoted rates binds the paying authorities and cannot be displaced by later calculations or correspondence.

Release of the withheld GST component with interest was directed.
