BY GOVT. PLEADER, SMT. K.R. DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 18338 OF 2008 G ==================== Dated this the 19th day of June, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that in 2006 March, he had executed an agreement with the 1st respondent Panchayat for the execution of a work which was completed in February, 2007. It is stated that respondents 2 and 3 have certified satisfactory completion of the work and although a part payment has been made, final settlement has not been made even as of now. According to the petitioner, he has made Ext.P4 representation in this respect to the Secretary of the 1st respondent Panchayat and that even on Ext.P4, there is no response from the 1st respondent. It is in these circumstances, writ petition has been filed. 2. Since the matter is still pending with the 1st respondent and Ext.P4 is not even responded, at this stage I feel that the grievance of the petitioner can be redressed by a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4. 3. Accordingly, the writ petition will stand disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P4. This shall WPC 18338/08 :2 : be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 3 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
