The prayer made by the petitioner in the instant petition is for issuance of direction to the respondents to release the balance payment of Rs. 1,17,352/- for the work done against the Work Order No. 42, dated 6.12.2004 alongwith interest at the rate of 24% from the due date till the date of payment.

A specific order dated 18.1.2006 has been passed by the Superintending Engineer, Bhakra Water Services Circle No. 1, Hisar (R-1), stopping the balance payment because the Executive Engineer, Vigilance Division, Hisar, is holding inquiry.
