Learned counsel for the petitioner states that his grievance for the present would be met if order in the same term as those passed in the earlier writ petition are passed by this Court. Learned counsel for the State has no objection. I, therefore, dispose of these writ petitions directing the petitioner to submit fresh representation to the Secretary, Engineer-in- Chief, Chief Engineer, Water Resources Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna and the concerned Superintending Engineer and Executive Engineer raising his grievance with regard to unpaid outstanding bill for the work done. Let it be noted that the petitioner had earlier filed representation through speed post to Secretary which has been remained unresponded. Once such a representation is filed then the authorities - 2 - who are public servants are bound to respond and having not responded, I direct the respondents that on the same including the fresh representation to be filed by the petitioner within one month of receipt of the representation, they would pass a speaking order in that regard and communicate the same to the petitioner. In case any payment is due, the respondents would ensure that within one month of the said order, payment also be made to the petitioner. With these observations and directions, these writ petitions are disposed of. SINGH (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
