IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 1710 OF 2009 DECIDED ON : 03.02.2009 Ajay Kumar ...Petitioner versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to release his payment for the works executed by him i.e construction of road from HUDA land to Vishavkarma Chowk, Ward No.13, Gohana. The petitioner's case is that in response to a public notice, the tender submitted by him on 13.11.2006 regarding construction of the road work from HUDA sector to Vishavkarma Chowk was accepted and the said work was allotted to him for a sum of Rs.3 lacs. The petitioner is stated to have completed the work within the stipulated period and to the satisfaction of the authorities and completion thereof has been duly recorded in the Measurement Book. However, the due payment is not being released by the Municipal Committee, Gohana, despite a letter sent by the S.D.O (Civil), Gohana (Annexure P-4). The petitioner has thereafter served upon the Municipal Committee a legal C.W.P NO. 1710 OF 2009 -2- notice dated 22.10.2008 (Annexure P-8) but no action has been taken so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and keeping in view the above mentioned facts, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondents No.2 and 3 to take cognizance of the legal notice served and whatever is found due towards the petitioner, release the same within a period of two months from the receipt of certified copy of this order.
