His bills were scrutinized and it was found that an amount of Rs 3,09,956/- was payable to him. When payments were not forthcoming, inspite of the fact that the dues were admitted, petitioner had moved this Court. During pendency of the writ petition, a cheque for Rs 2,62,677/- has been handed over to the petitioner in full and final settlement of the aforesaid dues. This is also the instructions of the learned counsel for the State. Petitioner states that there is a difference of about Rs 42,000/- in the amount due and amount paid. Learned counsel for the State states that this is on account of deductions in respect of royalty, sales tax, income tax etc but unfortunately the details thereof have not been supplied. The cheque has been signed by Executive engineer, Punpun Flood Protection Division. 2 In view of the facts aforesaid, I direct that the concerned Executive Engineer would give details of payment made and deductions made to the petitioner immediately on petitioner’s filing a representation before him and in case the petitioner feels that the deductions were unwarranted or excessive, he would make a representation to him who would get the matter examined and pass appropriate order in that regard and make payment, if necessary on that account. With these observations and directions, the writ petition stands disposed of. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
