SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.20589 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner undertook some works on behalf of the respondent Panchayat. The petitioner’s grievance in this writ petition is that the amounts due to the petitioner for those works have not been disbursed to the petitioner. 2. The learned counsel for the respondent – Panchayat submits that the work has been executed under two agreements namely, Ext.P1 and P2. In respect of Ext.P2 agreement, although the work has been completed, there was some delay and that is why the amount has not been released. As far as Ext.P1 agreement is concerned, the petitioner has not yet submitted his completion certificate. According to the counsel, if the petitioner submits the completion certificate, his claim for payment would be considered and orders passed within a period of one month. He further submits that the undisputed amounts can be disbursed within one month and in respect of the disputed amounts, the Panchayat would decide the matter, after hearing the petitioner W.P.(c)No.20589/08 2 also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition recording the above submission of the learned counsel for the Panchayat and directing that the entire proceedings be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.20589/08 3
