WP(C) 5170/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.POTSANGBAM Heard Mr. P. Kataky, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Ms. B. Bh uyan, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the PWD. This is the second round of litigation where the above referred petition s have been filed by the petitioners before this Court seeking a direction for p ayment of the outstanding bills which are said to be lying with the Dibrugarh Ru ral Road Division, PWD. In the earlier writ petition, which was disposed of on 2 4.7.2009, this Court directed the petitioner as well as the respondents to abide by the directions and the guidelines laid down by the Full Bench of this Court in 2008 (4) GLT 1 (FB) (Tamsher Ali and Others Vs. State of Assam and Others). According to the petitioners, despite the order passed by this Court as mentione d above, the Government has not provided the necessary fund to the concerned Eng ineer for payment to the petitioners. Instead, they had ordered for enquiry with regard to the pending liability. The only grievance of the petitioners as expressed in these writ petitio ns is that the Government, i.e. Secretary/Commissioner, Public Works Department, Government of Assam, have not released the necessary fund despite having reques ted for the same by the Executive Engineer concerned and as such the outstanding amount due and payable to the petitioners could not be paid and therefore, he p rays for a direction to release the fund. This Court does not consider it approp riate to direct the Government to release the fund as prayed for by the petition ers but at the same time, we cannot blink to the plight to the petitioners. In this view of the matter, it is provided that the Commissioner/Secreta ry, PWD, Government of Assam shall ensure the release of the necessary fund to t he Executive Engineer, PWD (Roads) Dibrugarh Road Division and as soon as such f und is released, the same be paid to the petitioners after ascertaining the pend ing amount. If there is any difficulty in releasing the fund, the same shall be communicated to the concerned Engineer so that the petitioners can be informed o f the reasons. With the above observations and directions, this writ petition stands di sposed of.
