THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition Nos.7921, 7927 & 7928 of 2011 COMMON ORDER: These writ petitions are filed by the same petitioner claiming similar relief, but in respect of different works. The petitioner was awarded contracts for execution of three different works by the 1st respondent. Agreements were entered into for the respective works, incorporating the relevant conditions. The petitioner states that the works have been executed according to the specifications. Its grievance is that the respondents withheld substantial amounts and that the same is resulting in hardship to them. The petitioner made representations, dated 05.04.2010, claiming the payment of balance of the bills. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the 1st respondent. The question as to whether the petitioner executed the works entrusted to it in accordance with the stipulations under the contract and whether any bills are payable to it, cannot be decided by this Court, at this stage. The petitioners have submitted representations almost one year back. Matters of this nature cannot be kept pending indefinitely. It is not in the interests of anyone to keep the controversy alive for such a long time. The 1st respondent can be required to act upon the representations filed by the petitioner as early as possible. Hence, the writ petitions are disposed of, directing the 1st respondent to consider the representations dated 05.04.2010 submitted by the petitioner and take necessary steps within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.25.03.2011. Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) GJ
