Mousumi Ganguly & Anr.
Vs.
The State of W.B. & Ors.
Mr. Dyutiman Banerjee …for the petitioners.
Affidavit of service and supplementary affidavit filed by the petitioners are taken on record. The respondents are not represented despite service. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that pursuant to work orders issued in favour of the 1st petitioner on 14th September, 2020 for construction of concrete road with drain at different places, the 1st petitioner undertook the said work and completed the same with the prescribed time period. The said petitioner submitted bills to the tune of Rs.91,78,265/- which is yet to be cleared. She submitted a representation in this regard before the concerned authority on 20th March, 2025 which is pending. The 1st petitioner seeks consideration of the said representation. Upon consideration of the submission made on behalf of the petitioner, this Court is of the view that since the 1st petitioner claims to have completed the work in question satisfactorily within the prescribed time limit and her representation submitted before the authority is still pending, the Additional District Magistrate & Additional
2 District Programme Coordinator, MGNREGS, Purba Bardhaman, being the 4th respondent herein, is directed to consider and dispose of the same within six weeks from the date of communication of this order upon affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to all concerned including the 1st petitioner, in accordance with law. The decision taken by the authority shall be communicated to the petitioners within a week thereof. In the event the 4th respondent arrives at a decision in favour of the 1st petitioner, necessary consequential steps be taken at the earliest. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit is invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
