It is stated that the execution of the works has since been completed. The petitioner states that during the subsistence of the contract, there was heavy escalation of the construction material. Reference is made to G.O.Ms.No.94 Transport, Roads & Buildings (R.I.) Department, dated 16.04.2008, whereunder the Government has provided for price revision or adjustment on account of escalation of the construction material subject to certain conditions. The petitioner made representations on 19.07.2008 and 18.08.2008, claiming the benefit under the G.O. Her grievance is that no steps were taken so far by the respondents. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner has placed before this Court, a copy of G.O.Ms.No.94, dated 16.04.2008. It provides for certain benefits to the Contractors on account of escalation of the cost of the construction material. The question as to whether the case of the petitioner fits into the said G.O. needs to be verified by the respondents. The applications made by the petitioner cannot be kept pending for years together. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.2 to pass appropriate orders on the representations made by the petitioners claiming the benefit under G.O.Ms.No.94, dated 16.04.2008, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
