The petitioner is a partnership firm incorporated having its registered offices at 4A, Mayur Garden, ABC, G.S. Road, Guwahati, Kamrup(M). Page No.# 3/3 4. Pursuant to the tender notice initiated by the respondent authorities, the petitioner was awarded with work order for Supply, Delivery and Installation of two number of standalone community water purification plant (CWPP) with specific features under Jal Jeevan Mission. 5. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has executed the work of Supply, Delivery and Installation of two number of standalone community water purification plant (CWPP) to the satisfaction of the concerned authorities. The respondent authorities have made part payment. However, the outstanding amount of Rs.2,15,000/- has not been released as yet. 6 Mr. R.R. Gogoi, learned Standing Counsel on instruction submits that the amount of Rs.2,15,000/- as claimed by the petitioner is found to be admitted amount. However, for release of the said amount, a considerable time may be required to process the same and therefore, prays for 3 (three) months’ time to release the said amount. 7. Having considered that the amount of Rs.2,15,000/- claimed by the petitioner is clearly admitted by the respondent authorities, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent authorities to make payment of the said admitted amount. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.6 to release the admitted amount of Rs.2,15,000/- to the petitioner within a period of 3 (three) months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order. With the above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
