JUDGMENT The petitioner seeks for a direction to the respondents to disburse the balance amount towards the final bill for the work executed by him to construct Sholayar - Kozhikoodam road in Palakkad District. The fund for the work is allotted by NABARD. It is pointed out in the writ petition that part bill was paid and now a total amount of Rs.10,50,016/- is due to the petitioner from the respondents. 2. The Block Panchayat has filed a counter affidavit. It is pointed out that the contribution of NABARD is to the extent of 80% and the balance 20% of the amount is to be paid by the Panchayat. The Panchayat has already paid its full contribution under the contract, to the petitioner and the balance, if any due, has to be met by the NABARD. The NABARD will disburse the amount only if it is satisfied that the work undertaken has been completed, meeting the standards specified. For enabling the amount to be disbursed to the petitioner towards the 80% of the amount, the NABARD will issue a clearance certificate. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that on getting the wpc 17996/2010 2 clearance certificate from NABARD, steps will be taken to disburse the amount by the concerned authorities. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
