One of the directions is that the respondents shall not deduct any amount towards cess unless the corresponding amount is included in the estimates.

They further state that on satisfactory completion of the work, the total bill was paid. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. From the counter-affidavit filed by the respondents, it is clear that a sum of Rs.2,68,373/- is with the respondents from out of the bills payable to the petitioner in the form of 1% cess. Whether the amount was withheld by the respondents or it was paid by the petitioner, it cannot be retained, once this Court has issued certain directions.
