Albin Pious v. State of Kerala

Kerala HC5 Mar 2024WP(C)/26317/2022

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

PWD contractors challenged threatened recovery and bill refusal based on a 2021 Government Order. The Court held, following its earlier judgment, that the Order applies only to contractors with works ongoing as on 01.11.2018, which these petitioners were not, and directed authorities to process their bills after hearing.

What did the court decide?

Authorities to consider petitioners' bills and pass orders after hearing, per W.P.(C)22964/2021, within six weeks, and disburse eligible amounts.

JUDGMENT

¶143

It is conceded and without doubt that the projected issues involved in these cases are covered by the judgment of this Court in W.P.(C) No.22964/2021.

¶144

Sri.George Mathew - learned counsel for the petitioners, vehemently argued that, going by the afore judgment, the petitioners in none of these cases would be governed by the rigor of the Government Order bearing G.O.(RT)No.3815/2021/Fin., dated 30.4.2021; and therefore, any recovery based on the said Order becomes untenable, illegal and mischievous. He thus prayed that the reliefs sought in these writ petitions be granted; explaining that his clients – who are contractors involved with various works with the Public Works Department (PWD) – are now being threatened with recovery and refusal of payment of their bills, solely based on the afore Government Order, which he reiterated, would not apply to persons like them.

¶145

Interestingly, Sri.K.V.Manoj Kumar – learned senior Government Pleader appearing for the PWD, conceded that this Court has declared affirmatively in the afore precedent, that the afore Government Order, as also three others which are prior to it,

¶146

WP(C) Nos.22566/2022, 26317/2022, 26319/2022, 26394/2022, 26495/2022, 38231/2022, 39318/2022

¶147

: 16 :

¶148

applies only to one category of contractors – namely those whose works were ongoing as on 01.11.2018. He also conceded that the petitioners do not fall into that category.

¶149

After admitting as afore, Sri.K.V.Manoj Kumar, however, argued that these writ petitions are experimental because, there is no document produced on record, nor is there any whisper in the pleadings, as to any recovery that has been ordered against the petitioners, based on the aforementioned Government Order. He argued that, it is for the Authorities to decide in what manner the bills of the petitioner will have to be dealt with; reaffirming that, while doing so, the afore Government Order will not apply and that it has never been the intent of the Authorities to do so.

¶150

The afore submission of Sri.K.V.Manoj Kumar clears the air for the petitioners fully, if not substantially.

¶151

This is because, as has been declared by this Court in W.P. (C) No.22964/2021, the Government Order referred above can apply only to one category of contractors, namely, those whose works were ongoing as on 01.11.2018. Concededly, the petitioners in these cases do not fall into such category.

¶152

Obviously, therefore, the Government Order dated 30.04.2021, cannot apply to them.

¶153

WP(C) Nos.22566/2022, 26317/2022, 26319/2022, 26394/2022, 26495/2022, 38231/2022, 39318/2022

¶154

: 17 :

¶155

Axiomatically, it is for the Authorities to now decide how the bills of the petitioners – contractors, are to be dealt with. This is not an issue into which, this Court can intervene at this stage, since the works are ongoing.

¶156

In the afore circumstances, with the afore clarifications, I allow these writ petitions, directing the competent Authorities to consider the bills of the petitioners and issue appropriate orders and complete necessary action thereon, after affording them an opportunity of being heard, adverting to W.P.(C) No.22964/2021, as expeditiously as is possible, but not later than six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

¶157

Needless to say, depending upon the afore exercise, all eligible amounts to the petitioner shall be disbursed to them, without any avoidable delay thereafter.
