Public Interest Litigation vs Government Inefficiency

A PIL was filed in the Delhi High Court against the Delhi Municipal Corporation for failing to provide effective garbage disposal services in residential areas. The petitioner claimed that the lack of proper waste management was causing health hazards and environmental pollution. The Court issued a notice to the DMC, which responded stating that it had allocated funds for the project but was facing logistical and bureaucratic delays. The petitioner alleged that the DMC was not utilizing the allocated funds efficiently and was instead diverting them for other purposes. What legal remedy would be the most effective in this scenario – judicial review, mandamus, or something else?
