THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY W.P.No.71 of 1995 Dt. 24-02-2006 Between: 1.M/s.M.Prabhakararao & company, Engineers & Contractors, 11-4-1, Rock Dale, Visakhapatnam ..Petitioner. and 1.The Executive Engineer, Y.R.C. Division, Peddapuram, E.G.District and others. ..Respondents. THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY W.P.No.71 of 1995 Oral Order: This writ petition is filed question the letter dated 16-07-1994 issued by the 1st respondent requesting the respondents 2 to 4 to withhold the payments to the petitioner to a tune of Rs.57,54,303/- from the account bills of the petitioner and remit the same to the 1st respondent. The said amount is sought to be recovered from the bills payable to the petitioner on determination of the contract. Since there is no stay granted by this Court learned senior counsel, Sri M.R.K.Chowdary appearing for the petitioner is not in a position to say whether the authorities have recovered the amount from the petitioner’s bills or not. As the petitioner is a contractor and undertaken various works, by this time the authorities might have recovered the amount from his bills and the counter filed in the year 1995 is also silent with regard to recovery. In view of the same, writ petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J. 24-02-2006 Murthy
