The Court after having heard the parties directed the Respondents to file their counter affidavit. Counter affidavit sworn by the Executive Engineer, Rural Works Department, Government of Bihar came to be filed. After perusing the counter affidavit, learned senior counsel submits that the dispute has sorted out to a very fine compass in the sense that the authorities have now given permission to the petitioner to continue with the work and 2 certain payments have also been done in this regard. But he submits that in view of the stoppage of work by the Respondents, he should be given adequate indulgence by extending time of completion of work in question. The stand of the learned counsel for the petitioner is not unfair. If the work came to standstill due to the intervention of the Respondent Official, additional time ought to be allowed to the petitioner to complete the work which is reasonable and fair. The writ petition stands disposed off with the aforesaid observation. Shageer (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
