Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and without going into the merits of the claim contained in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition with a C.W.P NO. 1136 OF 2009 -2- direction to the Executive Engineer, Amritsar, to consider the claim raised by the petitioner in its representation dated 22.12.2008 (Annexure P-1) and if the petitioner is found entitled to certain payments on account of the work executed by it, to release the said payments within a period of two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
