W.P.(C) No.29950 of 2006 .................................................................... Dated this the 9th day of January, 2007. JUDGMENT The prayer in the W.P. is for direction to the first respondent to release payments for the construction done by the petitioner. Standing Counsel for the first respondent submitted that petitioner has not completed the work in full in as much as fire fighting instruments installed have not been tested and commissioned. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner has installed the system and got clearance from the Electrical Inspectorate and Fire Service Department. Of course it is for the first respondent to arrange for testing and to satisfy themselves that the installation is in accordance with the contract. The first respondent is therefore directed to conduct inspection and to arrange for testing in co- ordination with petitioner and if satisfied, approve the bill for payment. Final decision will be communicated to the petitioner within one month from the date of production of copy of this judgment by the petitioner. W.P. is disposed of as above.
