I have given a contract to a local contractor to
construct 4 rooms (2 at front side, i.e. one at ground floor and one above it)
and (2 at back side, i.e. one at ground floor and one above it which also
include attached toilet - bathroom) at a rate of Rs. 1050/- per sq. ft. With
material cost, labor cost (which include RCC, brick walls with plaster,
flooring, plumbing,electric supply,drainage layouts,doors,sliding windows,painting,tiles
in bathroom up to 7 ft.) in short a ready possession. But after constructing
RCC of ground floor on both side and building walls(without plaster) the
municipal corporation demolish the front side construction stating as illegal
construction. And now the work has
stopped. So now the contractor is asking for money and had quoted me the rates
as follows.

Now rate, he quoted me are as follows.
1. 50%
of original rate decided i.e. 50% of Rs.
1050/- per sq. ft. = Rs. 525/- per sq. ft.[for
RCC construction]
2. 20%
of original rate decided i.e. 20% of Rs.
1050/- per sq. ft = Rs. 210/- per sq.ft. [for brick wall construction]
3. 30%
rate decided i.e. 50% of Rs. 1050/- per sq. ft. = Rs. 315/- per sq.ft. [for
columns constructed on 1st floor at back side]
4. 10
% rate decided i.e. 50% of Rs. 1050/- per sq. ft. = Rs. 105/- per sq.ft.[for

So he quoted me a sum of total Rs. 4,38,000/- whereas
I have already paid him Rs. 2,10,501/- and as per the contractor’s quotation I
have to pay him Rs. 2,27,501/- more.
