         Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and<\/p>\n
the learned Government Pleader.<\/p>\n
         2. The petitioner was entrusted with the work<\/p>\n
viz., improvements to Thuvur Neelancheri Arimanal<\/p>\n
Road from KM 00\/0 to 400, pursuant to a notification<\/p>\n
issued by respondents 3 and 4. The Probable Amount<\/p>\n
of Contract for the work was Rs.67,74,747\/-. The<\/p>\n
petitioner quoted below the Probable Amount of<\/p>\n
Contract. According to him, the quantity of the work<\/p>\n
had to be revised and this was due to several factors.<\/p>\n
Revised estimate of Rs.83,75,000\/- was approved. The<\/p>\n
petitioner contends that he has done the work for<\/p>\n
Rs.94,60,462\/\/-. He has received payments also. But,<\/p>\n
he is yet to receive a sum of Rs.5,31,150\/-. Hence this<\/p>\n
writ petition.\n<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO.15814 of 2009<\/p>\n
                           :: 2 ::\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
         3. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf<\/p>\n
of the 4th respondent. Paragraphs 3 and 4 of the same<\/p>\n
read as follows:\n<\/p>\n
              “It is further submitted that as per the<\/p>\n
         conditions of contract, the petitioner is<\/p>\n
         bound to do the essential excess quantity of<\/p>\n
         work in addition to the original estimate,<\/p>\n
         subject to approval of the competent<\/p>\n
         authority according to the delegation of<\/p>\n
         powers    issued    by   the    Government.<\/p>\n
         Accordingly, the petitioner has executed<\/p>\n
         some additional works along with the<\/p>\n
         original work. For this the payment will be<\/p>\n
         made at the rate quoted by the petitioner<\/p>\n
         for the original work.   In this work it is<\/p>\n
         35.11% below estimate rate. The work was<\/p>\n
         completed by the petitioner within the<\/p>\n
         stipulated   period   and  the   work    was<\/p>\n
         measured     by  the   concerned   Assistant<\/p>\n
         Engineer and bill submitted in April, 2008<\/p>\n
         for a total value of Rs.94,50,462\/-.     The<\/p>\n
         argument that the value of the work was<\/p>\n
         revised from Rs.83.75 lakhs to 94.50 lakhs<\/p>\n
         is wrong.    The original estimate was for<\/p>\n
         Rs.67,00,000\/- and which was revised to<\/p>\n
         Rs.83,75,000\/- after considering quoted<\/p>\n
         rate below 35.11%.         The Exhibit P2<\/p>\n
         produced by the petitioner is not a<\/p>\n
         document issued by the department.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
W.P.(C)NO.15814 of 2009<\/p>\n
                          :: 3 ::\n<\/p>\n
\n             It is submitted that the department<\/p>\n
        has paid the bill of petitioner for a total<\/p>\n
        value of Rs.83,75,000\/-. After deducting<\/p>\n
        the quoted rate of below 35.11% cost of<\/p>\n
        materials issued by the department and<\/p>\n
        other statutory recoveries, the petitioner<\/p>\n
        is   entitled  to   get   an    amount    of<\/p>\n
        Rs.38,45,338\/-. The same had been paid<\/p>\n
        to the petitioner through cheque. If the<\/p>\n
        total     value    is     considered      as<\/p>\n
        Rs.94,50,462\/- the petitioner will be<\/p>\n
        entitled to get proportionate increase in<\/p>\n
        payment. But that amount is temporarily<\/p>\n
        withheld on the basis of an objection<\/p>\n
        raised by the Accountant General during<\/p>\n
        their annual audit, for getting the approval<\/p>\n
        for   the   revised   estimate   from    the<\/p>\n
        competent authority according to the<\/p>\n
        circular   No.C6-60662\/2002\/G1        dated<\/p>\n
        16.11.2002 issued by the Chief Engineer.<\/p>\n
        Therefore, the payment of the balance<\/p>\n
        amount which is withheld will be paid on<\/p>\n
        getting sanction from the competent<\/p>\n
        authority, which is under processing. If<\/p>\n
        sanction    is  accorded,    the  petitioner<\/p>\n
        contractor    will  have   to    execute   a<\/p>\n
        supplementary agreement to render him<\/p>\n
        eligible for payment as per agreement<\/p>\n
        condition.”\n<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO.15814 of 2009<\/p>\n
                           :: 4 ::\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
         4. Though the respondents dispute that the<\/p>\n
estimate was revised from Rs.83.15 lakhs to Rs.94.50<\/p>\n
lakhs, they have no dispute that the total value of the<\/p>\n
work is considered as Rs.94,60,462\/-. Then the<\/p>\n
petitioner will be entitled to proportionate increase in<\/p>\n
the rate. What stands in the way is an audit objection<\/p>\n
from the Accountant General’s office. If a revision in<\/p>\n
the estimate of the work was bona fide required and<\/p>\n
the work has been satisfactorily completed by the<\/p>\n
petitioner, then he is entitled to payment for the work.<\/p>\n
It would not be justified in holding back the payment on<\/p>\n
account of the objection from the office of the<\/p>\n
Accountant General alone.\n<\/p>\n
         5. The 1st respondent shall, therefore, take a<\/p>\n
decision on the question as to whether a revision in the<\/p>\n
estimate of the work was actually necessary and if it is<\/p>\n
found to be necessary and the work has been<\/p>\n
satisfactorily completed by the petitioner, the balance<\/p>\n
amount due to him shall be disbursed within three<\/p>\n
months from the date of receipt of a copy of this<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO.15814 of 2009<\/p>\n
                         :: 5 ::\n<\/p>\n
\njudgment.   Proceedings shall be passed by the 1st<\/p>\n
respondent, in this regard, within the aforementioned<\/p>\n
time frame.\n<\/p>\n
        Writ petition is disposed of as above.<\/p>\n
