J U D G M E N T KOSHY, Ag.CJ. Petitioner is a contractor. He undertook works on behalf of the Municipality. When contract was terminated he approached this Court. According to him, major part of the contract was completed and the termination of the contract itself was illegal. Learned Judge held that Municipality could have passed final decision only after providing an opportunity of being heard the petitioner and Ext.P13 was quashed. Municipality was directed to take a fresh decision after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. According to the petitioner, the site was handed over to the petitioner after six months and therefore Municipality ought to have given some more time for completing the contract. If the petitioner approaches the Municipality with a copy of this judgment, Municipality should decide the question of extension of time of the contract within two weeks from the date W.A.No.2295 of 2008 2 of receipt of a copy of this judgment. We are not interfering with the judgment of the learned Single Judge. Without prejudice to any other remedy, this writ appeal is disposed of. J.B.KOSHY, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE V.K.MOHANAN, JUDGE bkn/-
