IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8596 of 2008 M/S YOGENDRA SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02 09.09.2008 The petitioner is aggrieved by cancellation of his agreement and the punitive action being taken for forfeiture of his security for non-completion of work in time. The petitioner has pleaded that work could not be completed because of acute scarcity of stone chip material and Bitumen, which were all beyond the control of the petitioner. He has cited cases where other similarly situated contractors have been given extensions but petitioner has not been granted such extension rather penalize. In my view, these questions require consideration of various facts which are neither completely pleaded nor free from dispute. It is only be appropriate to petitioner to represent this case with detail before the Chief Engineer, Road Construction Department, North Bihar, Government of Bihar against the aforesaid punitive action, who would take a decision in the matter at the earliest preferably within two months of filing of such a representation. This disposes of the writ petition. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J.)
