Learned counsel for the respondents has invited this Court’s attention to the averments made in Paragraph 7 of the Affidavit dated 9.6.2010. The same is being extracted hereunder: “7. That the deponent humbly states that the proposed action plan of implementing works out of Central Government assistance amounting to Rs. 891.752 lacs is prepared by the State Government and was sent to the Central Government. According to which works of Rs. 891.752 lacs will be carried out in 2 years. In the year 2010-11 works of Rs. 535.05 lacs and in 2011-12 works of Rs. 356.702 lacs will be executed but the State Government can implement the proposed works when the funds are released and under the given directions by the Central Government. However, the State Government will complete this work within 18 2 months after release of funds from the Central Government.” Learned counsel for the respondents based on the averments made in Paragraph 7 states that the instant Writ Petition has been rendered infructuous. Learned counsel for the petitioner acknowledges the assertion made by the learned counsel for the respondents. He, however, contends that the respondents should be bound by the statement made to this Court in Paragraph 7, inasmuch as, the respondents be directed to complete the work, under reference, within eighteen months from the date of the release of funds by the Central Government. In view of the above, the instant Writ Petition is disposed of. The respondents are directed to complete the entire work within eighteen months from the date of the release of the funds by the Central Government. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) (J.S.
