The Azimgarh Co-op Labour & Construction Society Limited. .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.R.C.Chatrath, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners is a Cooperative Labour and Construction Society who is said to have given works contracts by the Municipal Council, Abohar. The petitioner avers that the alleged works have been executed by it to the entire satisfaction of the authorities and thereafter, final bills for approximately amount of Rs.6,72,601/- have been submitted in January and February, 2007. It is alleged that despite the directions contained in the Government Notification dated 15.8.2009 to the effect that `payments should be made to the Labour and Construction Societies every fortnightly for the work executed', the respondent-Corporation has failed to release the payment to the petitioner-society for the admitted C.W.P.No .13691 of 2010 2 works executed by it, though the petitioner-Society has served the respondents with a legal notice dated 12.10.2009 (Annexure P-3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider the legal notice dated 12.10.2009 (Annexure P-3) said to have been served by the petitioner-Society and dispose of its pending claim by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioner-society is found entitled to any payment, the same shall be released to it within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
