SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------------------ D.B.P. NO: 96 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th July, 2011. O R D E R Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J. We have perused the application and materials produced therewith. We have seen the learned Ombudsman's report. The surplus unspent funds out of that which was earmarked last year for school buildings would necessarily stand carried over for utility this year. Obviously therefore, sufficient funds would be available. It may not be feasible to take up the construction of two floors separately particularly when the drawings indicate that the structural work for both the floors could be had anyone go. Under such circumstances we grant approval as sought for subject to audit and appropriate tender proceedings. Ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN Judge K. SURENDRA MOHAN Judge jj 2 3
