    The Gauhati High Court dismissed Har Kanta Das's writ petition seeking Rs. 2,86,900 with interest for a construction work contract issued in 2012. The court found that the petitioner had only completed 50% of the work and all dues (Rs. 1,24,651) had already been paid, negating any grounds for further payment. Additionally, the court dismissed the petition due to the petitioner's gross negligence in waiting over 10 years to approach the court after the work's alleged completion, having filed only sporadic representations since 2012.
