WP(C) 4858/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTIC B P KATAKEY Heard Mr B Buragohain, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr J Handiq ue, learned state counsel appearing for the respondent nos.1, 2,3,5 and 6. None appears for the respondent no.4. The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is that tho ugh on being allowed to set up Rajgarh Market Building nos.1,2 and 3 under the D ibrugarh Zilla Parishad the petitioner has completed the construction and submit ted a bill for Rs.12,07,000/-(Rupees twelve lakh and seven thousand) only, he ha d been paid only an amount of Rs.8,83,000/-(Rupees eight lakh eighty-three thous and) leaving a balance of Rs.3,24,000/-(Rupees three lakh twenty-four thousand) only to be paid to him by the respondent nos.3, 4 and 5. It is also the case of the petitioner that though he made two representations, one dated 24.2.2010 and the other dated 22.4.2010, before the Deputy Commissione r, Dibrugarh, and one more representation dated 22.4.10 before the President and Secretary of the Development Committee of the Rajgarh Super Market, nothing has been done till date regarding the payment of the aforesaid balance amount. The petitioner, in the backdrop of such assertion, has prayed for a direction to the respondent authorities to pay to him the said balance amount along with interes t. No affidavit-in-opposition has been filed by any of the respondents. The respond ent no.4, in fact, has not entered appearance and contested this proceeding desp ite service of notice. The petitioner, though, claimed that he had completed the work to the satisfacti on of all concerned and as such entitled to claim a direction to the aforesaid r espondents to pay him the aforesaid balance amount, he, however, could not produ ce any work-order to show that he had been authorised to execute the work, thoug h detailed estimates prepared by a Junior Engineer were enclosed with this petit ion. In the absence of any work-order in favour of the petitioner to set up such buil ding, no direction, as sought for, can be issued. However, since he already appr oached the Deputy Commissioner by way of two representations as aforesaid, the p resent petition is disposed of with the observation that the said authority may pass necessary order on such representations, which is to be done within a perio d of two months from the date of production of the certified copy of this order to be produced by the petitioner before the said authority. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
