Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Ms.Monica Chhibber Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Let four copies of the writ petition be handed over to her during the course of day. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner is an approved Contractor who is said to have executed various works allotted to him by the respondents, details of which is given in para No.2 of the petition. It is averred that the works have been executed by the petitioner to the entire satisfaction of the C.W.P.No .4509 of 2011 2 respondent-authorities, however, his payment is not being released despite the submission of the final bills. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have made a representation dated 23.10.2010 (Annexure P-1) but no payment is said to have been released so far. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any final views on the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the final bills submitted by the petitioner and release his due payment as early as possible but not later than four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 14, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
