WP(C) 2306/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY Heard Ms. R Devi, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Also hea rd Mr. G Soren, learned Govt. Advocate appearing for the respondents. The petitioner claims that for the works executed by him under the Deput y Commissioner, Kamrup (Rural), he is entitled to receive Rs.2,67,09,852/- (Rupe es two crores, sixty seven lakhs, nine thousand, eight hundred and fifty two) on ly from the respondents and the said payment has been wrongly withheld by the re spondents. In the counter affidavit filed by the Deputy Commissioner, it is averred that the claim of the petitioner is totally unjustified as no formal work order was issued for the work, claimed to have been executed by the petitioner. It is also averred that no work estimate was prepared by any authority including the BDO, Boko and no sanction of the Govt. was made for the work claimed to have bee n executed by the petitioner. It is pointed out by the Deputy Commissioner that for works of valued at 3 crores and above, the Chief Engineer is the competent authority to sanction s uch work and there is nothing on record to show that such sanction was accorded or the petitioner was given any order to implement the work. This Court by order dated 23.11.2010 required the petitioner to respond to the averments made in the Deputy Commissioner’s counter affidavit but nothing is placed on record by the petitioner to rebut the contention advanced by the D eputy Commissioner. Having regard to the above, I am of the considered opinion that no direc tion can be given to the respondents to make payment to the petitioner beyond th e amount already paid to him, for the work legitimately executed. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed.
