On 26.9.2006 I directed the Government Pleader to get instructions as to when the turn of the committee of which the petitioner is the convenor will come as per the priority list. The learned Government Pleader has not bee able to get instructions so far. 2. Having considered the grounds raised and the documents placed on record, I am of the view that it has to be ensured that the petitioner gets the bill amounts without undue dely. Therefore this Writ Petition will stand disposed of in the following terms: There will be a direction to all the respondents, particularly the District Collector to ensure that the writ petitioner receives paymets W.P.C.No.21132/06 - 2 - at the earliest and at any rate within three months of their receiving a copy of this judgment, without violating the priority list. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
