THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26939 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is a construction company. It was awarded the contract of formation of a new tank on 08.04.2004. Almost all the bills were paid. However, a sum of Rs.6,25,806/- was withheld towards 1% of labour cess. The petitioner submits that though this very component was sanctioned in the revised estimates, the respondents are withholding that amount. The petitioner submitted a representation dated 16.11.2009 pointing out its grievance to the 1st respondent. It complains that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The contract of fairly big magnitude viz., Rs.6,26,09,308/- was awarded to the petitioner. Almost the entire amount was paid. The dispute is only about Rs.6,25,906/-. While the petitioner submits that the said amount is liable to be released, the 2nd respondent appears to have taken objection for release of that amount, though it was sanctioned by the 1st respondent. This Court cannot express any final opinion on the matters of this nature. The petitioner has already submitted a representation to respondents 1 and 2 on 16.11.2009. Though it cannot be said that it was kept pending for a long time, early action on it would put an end to the controversy. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take necessary action on the representation dated 16.11.2009 submitted by the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 18.12.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26939 of 2009 Date: 18.12.2009 JSU
