True copy tga KURIAN JOSEPH J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.11918 of 2004 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 9th August, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P3 order directing deposit of service connection charges for considering the request for reduction of contract demand. Reliance is placed on Ext.R2(b) Board Order. It is to be seen that Ext.R2(b) stipulates service connection charges only in the case of enhancement of contract amount. The case of the petitioner is for reduction of contract amount. Therefore, there is no justification in the demand. I quash Ext.P3. The writ petition is allowed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. tgs
