WP(C) 4683/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Talukdar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Bora, learned sta nding counsel, PWD as well as Mrs. Verma, learned standing counsel, Finance Depa rtment. The grievance of the petitioner in the present petition is that though this Cour t vide order dated 6th August, 2002 passed in WP(C) No.4855/2002 directed the re spondent authorities to scrutinize the claim for payment of the outstanding dues of Rs.60,40,585/- and to pay the same, the respondent authorities, after such s crutiny, have paid the amount leaving Rs.13,00,000/- still to be paid. The petitioner, therefore, prays for a direction to the respondent authorities t o pay the said amount. Mr. Bora, learned standing counsel, PWD submits that the petitioner’s name has b een registered in the register maintained by the Department in terms of the dire ction contained in Tamsher Ali & Ors. Vs. State of Assam & Ors. reported in (200 8) 4 GLT 1 and while the petitioner was paid a substantial amount due to him, th e remaining amount could not be paid because of non availability of the required fund. It has also been submitted that the government in appropriate Department has been moved for sanctioning the amount and as soon as the amounts payable to the contractors is sanctioned, the outstanding amount in terms of the direction contained in Tamsher Ali (supra) shall be paid. It is not in dispute that against the initial claim of the petitioner to the tun e of more than Rs.60,00,000/-, more than Rs.47,00,000/- has already been paid to the petitioner leaving the balance, according to the petitioner, of Rs.13,00,00 0/-. The respondent PWD is also taking steps to get the fund required to meet t he outstanding dues of various contractors sanctioned, so that payment to the co ntractors in terms of their position in the register maintained by the Departmen t pursuant to the directions contained in Tamsher Ali’s (supra) case, can be mad e. That being the position, the present petition is disposed of directing the respo ndents to pay the petitioner the outstanding amount, if any, in terms of his pos ition in the register maintained by the Department, subject to sanction of the f und by the Government. The writ petition accordingly is disposed of. No costs.
