WP(C) 5049/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANIMA HAZARIKA Heard Mr.P.J.Saikia learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Also h eard Mr.G.Soren learned State Counsel appearing for the respondents. Considering the grievance raised in the writ petition and as agreed to b y the learned counsel appearing for the parties this writ petition is being disp osed of at the motion stage itself. The petitioner’s case in brief is that he had bought one Tata Sumo vehic le in the year 2003 by taking loan and in the year 2006. He has again purchased another Tata Sumo vehicle and plied them as passenger carriers and thereby earne d money for his livelihood. The said two vehicles have been duly registered with the office of the District Transport Office, Kamrup, Guwahati vide Registration No. AS01-Q-5534 and AS01-Z-0464 respectively. The District Administration requi sitioned one of the vehicle bearing registration No. AS01-Q-5534 on 5.3.2005 fo r using the same on assembly election duty while going from Guwahati to Shillong without giving any prior notice or information or any requisition documents and since then the said vehicle remained under requisition of respondents till the month of December, 2005. The petitioner made several attempts to release the sai d vehicle but the authority did not allow the petitioner to take back his vehicl e and the said vehicle got damaged due to non-maintenance and as a result the ad ministration had abandoned the vehicle and left it to damage further. Thereafter on further approach the vehicle was released from requisition without any requi sition charge/compensation. In this way the authority had requisitioned another vehicle of the petitioner bearing registration No. AS01-Z-0464 just after purcha sing of the said vehicle on 6.6.06 and kept it under requisition for a period of seven months. During the requisition period, though the petitioner was entitled to daily charge for using and occupying his vehicle, the respondent has not pai d any amount towards such daily allowance/charge to the petitioner. The respond ent also did not maintain the vehicle of the petitioner for which engine and oth er mechanical disorders were caused to the said vehicles for rough use of the ve hicle. Though the petitioner submitted representation dated 5.9.06 and 22.1.07 r espectively before the respondent No.2 to pay the requisition charge /compensati on for requisitioning the vehicles amounting to Rs.55,499(rupees fifty five thou sand four hundred ninety nine) due and payable to the petitioner , the same has not been paid till date. Hence the instant writ petition praying for a direct ion to the authority to pay the aforesaid amount of Rs. 55,499/- with further di rection not to requisition the aforesaid vehicles until and unless the dues paya ble to the petitioner is cleared which is pending since 2005-06. In view of limited prayer so made by the petitioner, the learned State C ounsel has raised no objection. Upon hearing learned counsel appearing for the parties as well as after perusal of the materials on record and considering the prayer so made by the pet itioner this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the authorities pa rticularly respondent No.2 to dispose of the representation submitted by the pet itioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a certified co py of this order. The petitioner shall submit a certified copy of this order and a copy of the writ petition alongwith the annexures appended thereto before the respondent No.2 for doing the needful. It is needless to say that the order pa ssed on the representation shall be communicated to the petitioner at his given address forthwith. It is however made clear that till the representation is disposed of the petitioner’s vehicles shall not be requisitioned without following the due proc ess of law. With the aforesaid observation the writ petition is disposed of.
