Sir,
I Shri Vishwas P. Dhumatkar, Proprietor of MS Siddhi Electricals, having office at Sapna Garden, Facility Block OS-8, 2nd Floor, Chogum road, Porvorim-Goa, This is to inform you that I had carried out 6 Nos. various Electrical Works amounting `11,11,287/- in which being a Suprintendent of Police & Principal of Police Training School, Valpoi-Goa, you had given total 05 Nos. various Work Orders on 19.11.2013 & 20.11.2013 to me. So far you had not furnished Work Order of Electrical wiring of Male Barrack & Armoury at P.T.S., Valpoi which amount to `2,01,602/-.
2. I had congregated with you upon the request of Mr. Prasad Sambhari to take up the various Electrical works in P.T.S., Valpoi. At first instance, I was not intending to take up said work only because I had never taken up such a Govt. PWD works though I am possessing Govt. License, but you had sent one Police Officer Mr. K. M. Maralkar as a representative to convince me.
3. I had a meeting with your representative Police Officer Mr. K.M. Maralkar who had shown a copy obtained from PWD Executive Engineer (Electrical) informing that it will not be possible to take up and complete the
works within short period and conveyed No Objection to carry out the electrical works departmentally by following Codal formalitites. Your representative Police Officer Mr. K.M. Maralkar had also conveyed your message to me that a Batch of 650 Recruit Police constables will be arriving in Training, Valpoi on 20.09.2013 and to have accomodation facilities to them, I was requested to takeup the Electrical works assuring that the Bills will be settled within 1-2 months as there was sufficient Govt. Funds for sanctioning the Bills.
4. I thereafter having discussion and keeping faith on your commitment of settlement of Bills within 1-2 months, on 13.09.2013 I conducted site inspection of electrical works at P.T.S., Valpoi and immediately thereafter keeping faith without any Work Orders from you the work was started from 16.09.2013 to 26.09.2013 and on war footing basis within 10 days time the work was completed and the same was appreciated by your staff Officers saying that if it was not done before the arrival of 650 trainees in PTS it would have be a disaster.
5. I had completed the Electrical Works except rewiring/new installations of tubelight fixtures & Celing Fans at Armoury Room. The Total Electrical works Bill was as under:
1) Electrical work of Male Barrack `2,35,410/-
2) SIT&C of Fans in Male Barrack `1,13,040/-

6) Electrical repairs of Male Barrack (without Armoury Room `2,01,602/-
Total Bill Amount `11,11,287/-
6. After completing the Electrical Works at P.T.S., I intimated you orally the total amount of Bill which was tuned to `1,11,287/- . At that juncture, you had informed me that there is some delay in getting sanction from the Govt. of
Goa as such I have to wait until getting of sanction from Govt. but meanwhile you will start the Codal formalities.
7. As per your assurance, on 19.11.2013 & 20.11.2013 I had received 05 Nos. letters from you to furnish quotations on the below mentioned Electrical works.
8. On 28.11.2013 I had submitted quotations to you, which was as under:
1) Electrical work of Male Barrack `2,35,410/-

5) Electrical re-wiring work of Old Mess Building `1,96,185/-
Total Amount `9,09,685/-
9. I was unable to submit the Bills to you as from your end there was no any work order for the settlement. On frequent appeal, on 03.01.2014, I finally received 05 Nos. Work Orders which is mentioned as per Para No.7.
10. On 10.01.2014 I had submitted 05 Nos. Bills amounting Rs.9,09,685/- for settlement as stated at Para 7 but so far said Bills are not settled. I had also conveyed orally that 01 Bill amounting `201,602/- is still pending for submission as there is no any Work Order.
11. On 13.01.2014, I had received letter from you to furnish quotation on Electrical works of re-wiring of Male Barrack & Armoury Room and thereafter on 17.01.2014,I had furnished Quotation for amount of `2,01,602/-.In the quotation
the work of Armoury was taken apart as I had not carried out any work of Armoury Room.
12. So far, inspite of submission of quotation I had not received any work Order of re-wiring of Male Barrack and because of this my Bill having amount of `2,01,602/- still remained unfurnished.
13. Since the Electrical Bills amounting `9,09,685/- was not settled, I had persuaded you the fact that to take up the Electrical Works of P.T.S., Valpoi, I had raised the funds by borrowing Loan on Gold Ornaments and paying the Intrest thereon. I had also shown the details of Bank statements where I obtained Loan and after realizeing you had given instructions to one of your Staff at P.T.S., Shri Rajaram Gawas to handover a Cash of `5,00,000/- to me.
14. On 25.04.2014, I had received Cash advance of `5,00,000/- on account of Advance towards pending Bills of Siddhi Electricals with promise to return to P.T.S., Valpoi as and when Govt. sanction for incurring expenditure is received. Accordingly, a receipt was prepared by UDC Rajaram V. Gawas and obtained receipt copy from me.
15. There was a frequent request from you to refund the advance of `5,00,000/- as you have adjusted from the advance deposits of trainees in P.T.S., and they are about to relieve from PTS at the end of May’2014. However, I was unable to refund complete amount. As such, on .05.2014, on your instructions, a Cash amount of `2,00,000/- was handed over to One of Police personal (Sinari) in the Office of Suprintendent of Police (Training), Altinho, Panaji without any receipt as you was in the meeting in PHQ, Panaji.
16. After deducting advance of `3,00,000/-, I have to receive total Balance amount from you is `8,11,287/-.
17. Now more than 11/2 year past, there is no any sign of settlement of Electrical Bills and finally it was confirmed from Home Department that there is
error in proposal and clarification is yet not received from your department. In this regard, a reference No.17/45/2010 HD (G)/Misc-II/758 dated 09.03.2015 has been obtain from the Office of Under Secretary (Home).
Now it is confirmed that my Bill will be not settled and you are dupeing me for the past several months. As such, I am compel to inform you that if the Bill amount of `11,11,287/- is not settled within the period of 15 days than I will be liable to seek legal advice to get my payments alongwith the interest @ 15% on the date of completion of work i.e. 26.09.2013 onwards.
