It is averred that the said works have been executed by the C.W.P.No .6291 of 2011 2 petitioner to the entire satisfaction of the respondent-authorities, however, his payment is not being released despite the submission of the final bills. In this regard, the petitioner has made a representation dated 26.7.2010 (Annexure P-1) but no payment is said to have been released so far. 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 & 3 to consider and dispose of the afore-mentioned claim of the petitioner as contained in the representation dated 26.7.2010 (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.
