Ms.Monica Chhibber Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Let three copies of the writ petition be handed over to her during the course of day. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioners are approved Contractor who are said to have executed the works allotted to them by the respondents, as per the details given in para No.2 of the petition. It is averred that the works have been executed by the petitioners to the entire satisfaction of the respondent- C.W.P.No .5010 of 2011 2 authorities, however, their payments are not being released despite submission of the final bills in November, 2010. In this regard, the petitioners made a representation dated 20.1.2011 (Annexure P-2) but no payment is said to have been released so far. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any final views on the petitioners' claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the final bills submitted by the petitioners and release their due payments as early as possible but not later than four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 18, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
