Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the Bihar State Bridge Construction Corporation Limited and learned counsel for the State. Challenge is to the communication dated 17.6.2008, by virtue of which the contract in question assigned to the petitioner stands rescinded and a direction was issued to him to appear and carry out the measurement work by an specified date, which was fixed on 30th June, 2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this measurement has not been done till date. There is variance with regard to the amount of work which has been completed by the petitioner and it serves nobody’s interest in keeping the matter in abeyance after passing the order. Learned counsel for the respondent Bihar State Bridge Construction Corporation Limited submits that the hands of the - 2 - authorities were forced when the petitioner failed to meet the deadline in terms of the contract in completion of the work assigned. The letter itself indicates that on enquiry it was found that no work was going on at the place for quite sometime and in absence of any proper explanation this was the only option left to them. It is also submitted that the present writ is only a ploy to get the accounting done through the process of the Court for which there are forums crated and matters will require actual verification on the ground level. Be that as it may, at this stage the writ application is disposed of with a direction the to the Senior Project Engineer, Road Division, Patna, respondent no.5, to get the actual verification done and issue a final letter to the petitioner in this regard so the rights and the liability between the parties may be settled, within a reasonable time. This writ application stands disposed of with above direction. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
