AJAY KUMAR, S/O LATE R.B. SINGH, RESIDENT OF :H Vs. THE STATE OF JHARKHAND THROUGH ITS CHIEF SECRETARY HAVING ITS OFFICE OT PROJECT BUILDING, P.O. & P.S. DHURWA, RANDHI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This Public Interest Litigation has been preferred by the petitioner with the following prayers:

(2.) Having heard learned counsel for both the sides and looking to the facts and circumstances of the case and also looking to the counter-affidavits, it appears that the major allegation by this petitioner, who is also running a Non Governmental Organization, is that some works have been assigned to other Non Governmental Organisations and, therefore, grievances have been ventilated against those Non Governmental Organisations with an allegation that they are Black-listed Non Governmental Organisations and the Government is assigning them the work.

(3.) This allegation has been denied in the counter-affidavit, specially looking to paragraph-13 onwards, filed by the State of Jharkhand. It has been categorically mentioned that Government is capable of doing the work at its own. Nonetheless, some work is being assigned to Non Governmental Organisations, so there is a public participation also. Otherwise, the departments are capable of doing the work and the Non Governmental Organisations have no monopoly of doing the said work.
