JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER Date : 14.08.2026 Ms. M. Hazarika, the learned Senior counsel assisted by Mr. D.

The learned Senior counsel submitted that this Page No.# 3/4 exercise was to be completed within a period of 90 (ninety) days from the date of submission of the claim by the Petitioner. 2. In pursuance to the judgment and order dated 13.11.2025, the Petitioner on 04.12.2025 not only submitted a certified copy of the judgment and order dated 13.11.2025 to the Special Chief Secretary to the Government of Assam, PHE Department but also provided the calculations as was directed in terms with Paragraph No.85(vii) of the judgment and order dated 13.11.2025. 3. It is the opinion of this Court that if the judgment and order dated 13.11.2025 passed in WP(C) No.5273/2023 have not been complied with, it is a case where the officials manning them holding their posts, in their personal capacity have acted in willful and deliberate violation to the directions passed by this Court. 4. Under such circumstances, as the willful and deliberate violation can be only qua a person and not the office, it is the opinion of this Court that the writ petition cannot be maintained for the purpose of implementation of the judgment and order passed by this Court dated 13.11.2025 passed in WP(C) No.5273/2023. 5. Ms. M. Hazarika, the learned Senior counsel submitted that Page No.# 4/4 in view of the opinion expressed by this Court, without prejudice to the Petitioner’s claim, the Petitioner may be permitted to withdraw the instant writ petition and if so advised, prefer an application for initiation of contempt proceedings against the persons responsible for willful and deliberate violation of the judgment and order dated 13.11.2025 passed in WP(C) No.5273/2023. 6. Taking into account the above, the instant writ petition therefore stands closed on withdrawal. 7. The withdrawal of the instant writ petition however shall not preclude or prejudice the Petitioner to avail remedies under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 read with Article 215 of the Constitution of India, if so advised.
