THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16190 OF 2007 ORDER: The respondents entrusted the petitioner with the work of construction of a Bridge near Fever Hospital, Hyderabad, way back in the year 1986. An agreement was entered into on 02-12-1986. Though the work was completed long back, the payment of bills was not finalized. The petitioner states that the bill for a sum of Rs.4,99,000/- admitted by the respondents in the proceedings, dated 17-10-2005, was not paid and that the final bill in pursuance of the contract, dated 02-12-1986, was not prepared. He seeks necessary relief on these counts. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. Out of the two reliefs, one has already been granted by this Court by way of an interim order on 03-07-2007 in WPMP No.20576 of 2007. Pursuant to the interim order, dated 03-07-2007, a sum of Rs.4,99,000/- is said to have been paid. 4. There is no denial of the fact that the petitioner was awarded the contract of construction of a Bridge and that an agreement was entered into on 02-12-1986. Once the work is executed to the satisfaction of the agency, the final bill has to be prepared and the transaction has to be brought to an end. There cannot be any justification to keep the matter pending for such a long time. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall finalize the matter pertaining to payment of the bills in relation to the agreement, dated 02-12-21986, entered into between the petitioner and the respondents within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if not finalized as yet. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J March 17, 2011 KTL
