IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11086 of 2009 M/S TRINETRA RAGHWENDRA CONSTRUCTION & LEASING PVT. LTD. A PARTNERSHIP FIRM THROUGH MD ABHISHEK P.N.SINGH, POIWAN, AURANGABAD. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 02.09.2009. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has come to this court for a direction to the respondent authorities to cancel/close the agreement signed between him and Executive engineer, Sone High Level Canal Circle, Aurangabad for construction of Single lane Road Bridge at RD 69.66 of Sone High Level Canal in the district of Aurangabad as well as for payment of due amount after final measurement of the works done by him along with earnest and security money deposited at the time of agreement no. 6 F2/2005-06. The petitioner states that just after two months of starting the work, he had to stop the same because of water flow in the canal. Furthermore, there was repeated demand of extortion money from extremists. Petitioner had written letters to the district administration and the Executive engineer for ensuring protection and lessening of water flow through the canal so that the work in question could be completed in time. However the authorities did not pay any heed to his request. Petitioner thereafter filed an application before the Executive engineer for closing the work. The Executive engineer sought information of SDO who also recommended closure of work in view of hindrances created by the extremists in the area. Copies of letters dated 3.5.2008 and 13.5.2008 of Assistant engineer are annexed as annexure 4 and 5. Petitioner on 28.2.2009 even wrote to - 2 - the Superintending engineer in this regard which is contained in annexure 7. He submits that no decision has been taken on his application in question. Having heard the parties, this court observes that the petitioner should file a representation afresh before the Superintending engineer, Sone High Level Canal Circle, Aurangabad, respondent no.5, who would dispose of the same by speaking order within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order, also taking into account the letter of Executive engineer noted above. The writ petition stands disposed of with aforesaid observations and directions. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh,J.)
