Mr. Ramakant Mishra, Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 01/10/ 1.
The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is the non-releasing of the 40% of the amount for which the petitioner was entitled from the State Government for his institution running a creches "Jhulla Ghar" since 2004. The respondents were asked
to submit their reply and in their reply, the State government has specifically taken two grounds, the first ground is that the petitioner has not been able to submit the expenditure vouchers with which it could be verified before releasing the said amount and secondly, according to the State, there was an enquiry conducted and it was revealed that the institution was not functional and that was the reason why they could not provide the expenditure vouchers.
2.
That the counsel for the petitioner submits that, he has repeatedly submitted the expenditure vouchers to the State authorities which the State authorities however dispute of having received. Be that as it may, this Court is of the opinion that the matter can be disposed of at this juncture permitting the petitioner to once again submit the expenditure vouchers that he has to submit before the respondents, who in turn shall verify and scrutinise the same and after due verification, take appropriate steps in accordance with the scheme governing the field.
3.
In case if the petitioner is found eligible and entitled for the same, the amount be released at the earliest. If on the contrary, it is found that the petitioner is not entitled for the release of the said amount for whatsoever reason, the petitioner be duly intimated with reasons for the same so that the petitioner comes to know as to why he has not been paid the said amount.
4.
Let the petitioner submits the expenditure vouchers within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and the respondents authorities shall further take a decision on
the documents and the vouchers which the petitioner would submit, within a further period of 45 days from the date the petitioner submits the vouchers along with the copy of the order. 5.
The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Judge Ved
