The learned counsel for the Petitioner submitted that, as per the work order, the Petitioner had completed the aforesaid works to the full satisfaction of the Respondent Authorities and within the time frame specified therein. Thereafter, the Petitioner submitted bills amounting to Rs. 99,91,522/- to the Respondent Authorities for payment; however, the said amount was not paid. The learned counsel further submitted that, being aggrieved by the inaction of the Respondent Authorities, the Petitioner submitted several representations before the Additional Chief Engineer, PWD, BTC, Kokrajhar, but no action was taken. Being aggrieved thereby, the Petitioner had approached this Court by filing a writ petition, being WP(C) No. 76/2020. 6. The learned Coordinate Bench of this Court, vide an order dated 01.12.2021, directed the Respondent Authorities to verify the entitlement of the Petitioner and upon such verification, if the Petitioner is found entitled to the amount of Rs. 99,91,522/- or any other amount, the same shall be released in favour of the Petitioner forthwith. 7. 6. The learned Coordinate Bench of this Court, vide an order dated 01.12.2021, directed the Respondent Authorities to verify the entitlement of the Petitioner and upon such verification, if the Petitioner is found entitled to the amount of Rs. 99,91,522/- or any other amount, the same shall be released in favour of the Petitioner forthwith. 7.

In this regard, the Petitioner submitted a reminder notice on 01.08.2023 to the Respondent Authorities; however, the remaining balance amount has not been released. It under such circumstances, the present writ petition has been filed. 8. I have heard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties and also perused the materials on record. 9. This is the second round of litigation inasmuch as in the earlier round of litigation, there was a direction upon the Respondent Authorities to carry out the necessary verification and thereupon pay as per the observations made by the judgment of the Full Bench of this Court in the case of Tamsher Ali and Others Vs. State of Assam and others reported in 2008 (4) GLT 1. 10. It is further seen that there is a verification being conducted wherein it was found that the Petitioner herein had already been paid Rs.49,49,922/- and there is a further balance of Rs.50,41,600/-. It has been submitted by Mr. N. R. Sharma, the learned Standing counsel for the BTC that the said payment would be paid upon availability of funds. 11. Taking into account that there is a direction to pay as per the judgment of the Full Bench of this Court in the case of Tamsher Ali (supra) in the earlier round of litigation, it is the opinion of this Court that as the Petitioner is now entitled to an amount of Rs.50,41,600/- which is being duly admitted, the Respondent Authorities are directed to make the payment to the Petitioner in terms with Tamsher Ali (supra). 12. With above observations and directions, the instant writ petition stands disposed of.
