IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7085 of 2008 M/S SUN INTERNATIONAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 12/04/2010 There is very limited dispute in the present writ application. The dispute is narrowed down to the various supplies effected in the year 2006 to the Civil Surgeon-cum- Chief Medical Officer, Rohtas at Sasaram. Payments have been made in favour of the petitioner but some amount has been withheld against the five bills which were raised by the petitioner on the respondents. The short payment has been made from the various bills raised against order no. 150 dated 11.3.2006. Petitioner submits that on 18.1.2008 he has made claim for the balance amount of Rs.28,746/- but no response is coming from the respondents. No counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State. In view of the above, this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Chief Medical Officer- cum-Civil Surgeon, Rohtas that he will inform the petitioner reasons for short payment or whether the payment withheld - 2 - are under any deduction on any rationale basis. Let the Civil Surgeon respond the petitioner on his representation dated 8.1.2008 within a period of three months from the date of receipt/communication of a copy of this order. If the deductions have been made wrongly or was not made due to paucity of fund, then steps will be taken for payment of the same to the petitioner within the same time frame. This writ application stands disposed of. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
