Use of Boring Water in Construction Work

(Querist) 16 September 2010 This query is : Resolved 
I just want to know that A Central Govt. Autonomy awarded a constrcution work of its building to a contractor. It is mentioned in tender documents that if contractor wish to arrange water for constrcution use/labour use from Employer side (Govt. Autonomy) then 1% of the tender cost shall be deducted from his Bills. Contractor is using site bore water for constrcution use and labour consumption use. My query is:

1. Can a contractor/person use bore water for commercial use if the land is concern to Central Govt. If yes why? if No-please mention the section barring him to use ground water for construction use/commercial use?
2. if there is any need to get the permission to use ground water for commercial purpose/construction porpuse from whom he should get permission?

3. If some one using ground bore water without any priore permission of any State/Govt. authority, which section's violation he is doing? and which type of conviction he can face in future?

State is Haryana and Distt. is Kurukshetra

1. The contractor cannot use the ground water of the employer as per terms and conditions of agreement itself.

2. Contractor should obtain permission from Ground Water Cell of Water Resources Department/Public Health Engineering section through owner of land i.e. department.
