HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NELSON SAILO
ORDER
Date : 13-05-2024
Heard Mr. N.A. Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms. G. Bora,
learned counsel who has appeared for all the respondents.
2. By filing this writ petition, the petitioner claims for release of a sum of

Hundred Six) which is due to him for supply of TATA commercial vehicles to the

pay for a certain amount of the price of the vehicles and the remaining balance
in the form of subsidy is to be paid by the State Government in the Agriculture
Department.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn the attention of this
Court to the amount due to the petitioner as worked out by the petitioner which
is annexed as Annexure-IV, page-73 of the writ petition.
4. Ms. G. Bora, learned counsel for the respondents submits that she may be
given some time to obtain instructions in the matter.

5. Mr. N.A. Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner on the other hand
submits that if the certain amount has already been disbursed to the petitioner,
the respondents will be at liberty to deduct the same from the final amount to
be paid to the petitioner.
6. Be stated herein that a Full Bench judgment of this Court in Tamsher Ali
and Etc. Etc. Vs. State of Assam and Ors. reported in 2008 (4) GLT 1 has laid
down certain steps and guidelines for verifying and releasing the admitted
liability of the State Government. Therefore, this Court does not find any
impediment in disposing of this writ petition in terms of Tamsher Ali (supra).
7. In view of the above, the respondent authorities within a period of 4
(Four) weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order shall verify
the claim made by the petitioner regarding the outstanding liability and if the
same is found to be correct and genuine, the same shall be processed in
accordance with law in terms of the decision rendered by this Court in Tamsher
Ali (supra).
8. With the above observations and directions this writ petition stands
disposed of.
9. It is needless to mention herein that if there is any amount paid to the
petitioner in the meantime, the respondents are at liberty to deduct the same.
