SPL.GOVT.PLEADER SRI.M.R.SABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 3132 OF 2009 (W) ==================== Dated this the 16th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims to have executed the work of construction of a check dam at Muthalathodu across Achencovil River and of a retaining wall. It is stated that the work has been completed and in support of this, counsel refers to Ext.P1 order dated 1/12/2008 of the 3rd respondent. It is stated that despite this, bill amount has not been paid. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions and submits that the bill has been registered only on 19/1/2009 and that verification of the work has to be done and thereafter alone payment can be made. Now that the work has been completed and the bill has also been registered on 19/1/2009, if verification has to be done, that necessarily should be expedited. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing the respondents to complete the process of verification as expeditiously as possible, and ensure that the payment due is made before 31st of March, 2009. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
