He received<\/p>\n<p>payment in respect of the same as per the bills submitted in that<\/p>\n<p>regard. Thereafter, the petitioner was served with Ext.P1 notice by<\/p>\n<p>the 6th respondent intimating the petitioner that as per the audit<\/p>\n<p>objection attached therewith, the petitioner received excess amount<\/p>\n<p>amounting Rs.47,145.24 and directed the petitioner to refund the<\/p>\n<p>same. Based on the same, Ext.P4 revenue recovery proceedings also<\/p>\n<p>have been initiated. The petitioner is challenging those proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>      2.    The petitioner&#8217;s contention is that as is evident from<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P3, the concerned Assistant Executive Engineer had duly certified<\/p>\n<p>the amounts due to the petitioner and as per the same, the balance<\/p>\n<p>amount due to the petitioner was Rs.1,05,000\/-, which only has been<\/p>\n<p>paid to the petitioner and, therefore, the petitioner is not liable to<\/p>\n<p>refund any amount. The petitioner points out that the value of the<\/p>\n<p>work was Rs.1,74,113.37 and as per the orders on the subject,<\/p>\n<p>beneficiary committees are entitled to 40 per cent extra, which<\/p>\n<p>amounts to Rs.69,645.34 and, therefore, the total amount payable to<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner for the work is Rs.2,43,758.71, out of which, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was paid Rs.1,38,759\/- earlier and balance of Rs.1,05,000\/-<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>as per the final bills certified by the concerned Assistant Executive<\/p>\n<p>Engineer, has also been paid to the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.    The learned counsel for the Panchayat would point out that<\/p>\n<p>40 per cent has to be calculated only on the amount after deducting<\/p>\n<p>the value of the departmental supply. The total departmental supply<\/p>\n<p>comes    to   Rs.74,335.37.    After  deducting   that   amount    from<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,74,113.37 which is the value of the work, the 40 per cent comes<\/p>\n<p>to only Rs.29,734.15 and, therefore, the total amount payable to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is only Rs.1,04,069.51 and the petitioner has received<\/p>\n<p>mobilization advance of Rs.38,981.00, after deducting which the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is entitled to only Rs.65,088.52, whereas the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p>been paid Rs.1,12,233.75. Therefore, the petitioner is liable to repay<\/p>\n<p>Rs.47,145.25. On these contentions, the 6th respondent supports<\/p>\n<p>Exts.P1 and P2. But of course, learned counsel for the Panchayat<\/p>\n<p>admits that as is revealed by Ext.P3, the amount paid to the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was only Rs.1,05,000\/- and not Rs.1,12,233.75 as mentioned in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1. But, according to the Panchayat, they are bound by the audit<\/p>\n<p>objections and therefore, that demand has only been made on the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.    Obviously, the issue revolves round calculation of 40 per<\/p>\n<p>cent. As per Ext.P1 audit objection, 40 per cent has to be calculated on<\/p>\n<p>the value of the work after deducting the value of the materials<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>supplied by the Department. The petitioner could not dispute the<\/p>\n<p>correctness of the said contention or the calculation based thereon. If<\/p>\n<p>that be so, the petitioner had received excess amount. But the amount<\/p>\n<p>paid to the petitioner is only Rs.1,05,000\/- and not Rs.1,12,233.75 as<\/p>\n<p>stated in Ext.P1. Therefore, the balance amount would come to only<\/p>\n<p>Rs.40,912\/-.    The petitioner is only liable to refund that amount.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of holding that the<\/p>\n<p>respondents are entitled to recover only Rs.40,912\/- from the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.    The counsel or the petitioner submits that the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>may be permitted to pay off the said amount in instalments. The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner shall pay the said amount in six equal monthly instalments<\/p>\n<p>starting from 1.6.2009. Every subsequent instalment shall be paid on<\/p>\n<p>the first working day of every succeeding month. If the petitioner pays<\/p>\n<p>the instalment amounts on the due dates, further coercive recovery<\/p>\n<p>proceedings shall be kept in abeyance. However, if the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>commits default in payment of any one of the instalments, it would be<\/p>\n<p>open to the respondents to recover the entire amount in one lump<\/p>\n<p>sum.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The writ petition is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                        Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<pre>sdk+                                             S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE\n          \/\/\/True copy\/\/\/\n\n                               P.A. to Judge\n\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">4<\/span>\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court V.V.Vinodkumar vs The Government Of Kerala on 23 May, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 36455 of 2007(M) 1.
