2. The prayer made in the writ petition shows, that it is a pure and simple claim of recovery, under a contract entered between the parties.

3. It is now well settled that pure claim of money cannot be adjudicated, in writ jurisdiction. The writ court cannot be converted into a civil court, to adjudicate the recovery of money, not involving statutory claiMs.

4. Consequently, this petition is dismissed. The Petitioner if is so advised, may work-out its remedy under ordinary civil law. No. costs.
