HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6933 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner claimed that he has been awarded contract for execution of works in Khammam Municipality and that the works have been executed to the satisfaction of the respondents. The grievance of the petitioner is that substantial amounts of the bills payable under the contract were not paid so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner has placed before this Court some material to suggest that he has been awarded the contract. The question as to whether any amount is still to be paid to the petitioner needs to be verified by the respondents. This Court cannot arrive at any different conclusion in this regard. However, the respondents cannot keep the matter pending. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to finalise payment of bills, if any, payable to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY,J DATE: 18th March, 2011 pnb
