SRI.M.K.ABOOBACKER, SC FOR R1 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 1672 OF 2010 (H) ===================== Dated this the 19th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner states that in pursuance to Exts.P1 to P5, the 2nd respondent awarded him a work for the construction of Kitchen Block for HMT Society School at Kalamassery. It is stated that he completed the work and that he is entitled to be paid Rs.4,15,000/-. However, he says that measurements have not been recorded and therefore final bill is not prepared. The petitioner alleges that this is for the reason that according to respondents 1 and 2, it was on account of a mistake that the work was awarded. It is stated that by Exts.P6 to P9 submitted to the respondents, he has sought payment for the work he did and that even on the representations, orders have not been passed. It is with this grievance, the writ petition is filed. 2. Evidently, the Municipality has not taken any decision on the monitory claim made by the petitioner and therefore, at this stage, what is required is that the Municipality should take a decision on the claim made by the petitioner by Exts.P6 to P9. Having regard to the above, I dispose of this writ petition WPC 1672/10 :2 : directing the 2nd respondent to take a decision on Exts.P6 to P9 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
