WP(C) 2301/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY Heard Mr. C Goswami, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, who is the le ssee of the Dalgaon Bus Parking, which was settled with him by the order dated 1 .10.2008 and the settlement period is to end on 30.6.2009 with the end of the Pa nchayat Year. The petitioner is apprehending that the Authorities are going to call tender for the Dalgaon Bus Parking for the Panchayat Year 2009-10, contending that the pet itioner’s representation for extension of the lease period, filed on 17.5.2009, has not been considered by the competent Authority. The learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that the petitioner suffered huge monetary loss because of the communal clashes which occurred in the last few months, leading to non-fu nctioning of the Bus Parking settled with the petitioner. Mr. R K Bora, learned Govt. Advocate representing the respondent Authorities sub mits that in stead of seeking extension of the lease period, the petitioner may file an appropriate application for remission of kist money under Rule 49 of the Assam Panchayat Act (Financial) Rules, 2002 and the Authorities may consider su ch application on merit. In view of above, as agreed to by the learned counsel for the parties, this peti tion is disposed off by permitting the petitioner to file an appropriate applica tion under Rule 49 of the Assam Panchayat Act (Financial) Rules, 2002 and the co mpetent Authority is directed to consider the application for remission on merit , preferably within 4 weeks, after the petitioner files his application. This writ petition stands disposed of accordingly.
