Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is an A-Class Government Contractor who was allotted works by the respondents vide the work orders No.63 dated 11.8.2009 and No.2 dated 28.1.2010. The petitioner is alleged to have executed the works to the entire satisfaction of the authorities and thereafter, final bills have been submitted in February, 2010. It is alleged that despite a legal notice dated 26.9.2010 (Annexure P1) served on behalf of the petitioner, the respondents have failed to release the payment to the petitioner for the works admittedly executed by him. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 C.W.P.No .20529 of 2010 2 and 3 to consider and dispose of the the afore-mentioned claim of the petitioner, also contained in his legal notice dated 26.9.2010 (Annexure P- 1), by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioner is found entitled to any payment, the same shall also be released to him within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
