He claims to have undertaken and satisfactorily completed various works for the respondent. According to the petitioner, bills were sanctioned to be paid to him for the works done by him. However, in view of a suit filed by one Mr.Rajan against the petitioner, the amount is not being paid in view of the prohibitory order in that suit. The petitioner now submits that that suit has been dismissed and appeal has also ended in favour of the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 representation, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Before releasing payment to the petitioner, if due, w.p.c.6250/08 2 the respondent shall make sure that the interim order in the suit and further proceedings are not in force at present. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
