Reply
Claim is bogus, without any
documentary proof, is fabricated and wrong.
i. Work is abandoned by claimant without any default on part of
department. Several letters are written to claimant by Executive Engineer
Electrical) and Executive Engineer (Civil) regarding executing the
remaining portion of work but claimant did not take up any work. Vide
various letters claimant was informed that there is no shortage of funds
for this work.

if. The proportionate amount of Performance Guarantee 88% was released


to claimant as per central government directions of Covid-19 for
increasing the liquidity with contractor but still claimant did not resume
the work.

ii. Show cause notice was served to claimant under Clause 3(a) and (b) of
the contract for abandoning and suspension of work but claimant could
not give any valid reason. Even after claimant was immediately requested
for resuming the work but still the claimant did not start the work. Finally

iv. Therefore there is no fault on the part of the department in prolongation
of the contract. There is no hindrance at site. Therefore the reason for
non-execution of full quantity of the agreement items is because the
claimant has wilfully abandoned and repudiated the work. Had the
claimant considered the requests of the department for taking up the
in full
work and completing it then he would have completed all the items
and payment would have been made to him as per the
