W.P.(C) No.1656 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 19th day of January, 2007. JUDGMENT Since this court and Government has in several cases ordered adjustment of amount due to contractors against security payable for future contracts, W.P. is disposed of with direction to the respondents to transfer from out of cleared bills so much of the amount for being treated as security deposit for fresh contract being awarded to the petitioner. I make it clear that as and when security is accepted as above, bill amount payable to the petitioner will be reduced by so much amount so that deposit amount does not get paid to the petitioner after adjustment towards security offered for the new contract.
