This colleague that I mention in my scenario (How to handle being assigned a colleague's work when the colleague does not complete it) have decided to leave the company because he/she have manage to find greener grass out there.
So, would it be right that I not complete the task that was re-assigned by my boss and persuade my boss to agree with my action. (so that the colleague will not use the work that is performed by you and list inside his / her resume.)

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

I don't see why someone falsely taking credit for your work is any reason for you not to do the work you are paid for. What difference would it make to you or your company if they did take credit? What's to stop him/her taking credit for anything, even things he had nothing to do with? Does it stop you taking credit later? Also, how would you be benefiting you or your company by refusing to do the work?
Playing political games (including handling colleagues when you don't need to, going over your bosses head because you don't like how they handle people and rebelling against work you are given) for rewards based on pride is not going to work in your favor, you're going to be in trouble because you are not doing what you are being paid to do.
So no, I don't think it's appropriate.

Your boss couldn't settle with your colleague's poor work and decided to reassign the task to you. That implies that the task is important to your boss - maybe even to the entire company. refusing to complete it would be sacrificing the interest of the employer for the sake of revenge on the colleague - something I doubt your boss would like.
No - it is not appropriate.
