IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4641 of 2010 M/S DIVYA PRAKASH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 1.4.2010 After having heard learned Senior counsel for the petitioner and learned Advocate General and after having perused the counter affidavit as well as the subsequent developments which have unfolded, this Court is not inclined to adjudicate the dispute raised in the present writ application. The fact stands that after rescinding the contract of the petitioner the work has been assigned to yet another person who has already begun work to complete the bridge may be by a specified time. Learned Senior counsel for the petitioner therefore submits that he is honestly willing to leave the responsibility of the work upon the new contractor but the respondents be asked to settle his dues for the work done by him. He is willing to pray for the same before respondents who should ask to settle the issue within a reasonable time. He also submits that the petitioner should be protected from any punitive action in this regard in view of his honorable exist. In the totality of the circumstances let the petitioner approach the respondents with his relief and prayer and the respondents will consider the entirety of the situation with due magnanimity. Let the decision of the respondents be - 2 - communicated to the petitioner including the reason for such decision, if need be within a reasonable time frame. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
