COPY OF THE LETTER DTD.28.2.06. sdk+ ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge S S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 19142 of 2006 ================== Dated this the 16th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a labour contract co-operative society. They undertook certain work on behalf of the respondents on contract. They only completed part of the work. The petitioner would contend that the petitioner could not complete the balance work only because of the default on the part of the respondents as also the circumstances beyond their control. The petitioner, therefore, seeks termination of the contract without risk and cost of the petitioner and for payment for the work done by the petitioner. Claiming this relief, the petitioner has filed Exts.P13 and P14 before the 2nd respondent. For the present the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P13 and P14 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P13 and P14, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
