The prayer made in this writ petition is that the respondents shall be directed to pay the bills admitted for the works completed by him at the earliest. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also in the matter, who had taken instructions from the respondents. 3. Since the fact remains that the petitioner has executed the works it is only appropriate that the amounts that are admitted to be due are released to him. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents 1 and 2 to release to the petitioner amounts that are admitted to be due to him. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and on the basis of priority.
