(Oral) The petitioners are Co-operative Labour and Construction Societies Limited who have been allotted works from time to time which are said to have been executed by them to the entire satisfaction of the authorities and thereafter only, the final bills have been submitted. 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 respondents have failed to release the payments to the petitioners for the admitted works executed by them despite a representation dated 28.5.2010 (Annexure P-1) made on behalf of the petitioners. C.W.P.No .3253 of 2011 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners 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 and dispose of the afore-mentioned claim of the petitioners as contained in the representation dated 28.5.2010 (Annexure P-1), 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 petitioners are found entitled to any payment, the same shall also be released to them within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
