According to the Petitioner, the Respondent submitted falsely before the NCDRC that the Petitioner had failed to execute the export orders within the extended time of 31st May, 1991. 5. The Petitioner refers to Writ Petition (Civil) No. 1941 of 1994 filed by him in respect of 3000 dresses meant for export to the USA in respect of which also 40% bank guarantee was forfeited. By an order dated 5th October, 2006, the learned Single Judge of this Court held categorically that the AEPC was in error in not endorsing the shipping documents because of which the extension till 31st May, 1991 was not granted to the Petitioner.

The learned counsel for the Respondent No. 2 AEPC points out that the present claim is not maintainable in a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution.

There is a claim of Rs. 22,820.75 for a transaction of 1st January, 1985, a claim of Rs. 15,810/- for which the Petitioner claims to have submitted proof of shipment dated 21st August, 1989, claims of Rs. 34,737/- and Rs. 60,025/- for which the Petitioner claims to have surrendered his quota by letter dated 20th September, 1989. These are of course disputed by the counsel for the Respondents. This court finds that apart from the claims being belated, the entitlement of the Petitioner to such claims is a disputed question of fact which cannot possibly be examined in the present writ petition. 13.
