THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22528 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have constructed a compound wall around the hospital building at Eligaid Village and Mandal, Karimnagar District. The work is said to have been undertaken on the instructions issued by the District Collector, Karimnagar, the second respondent herein, and nomination made by the Executive Engineer concerned. Stating that the work was executed as directed, the petitioner submitted a representation for payment of the Bills. The Executive Engineer, Office of Commissioner of Fisheries, addressed a letter, dated 23.10.2008, to the District B.C. Welfare Officer, Karimnagar, the third respondent herein. The latter, in turn, addressed a letter, dated 03.07.2009, to the Director of Back Ward Classes Welfare, Hyderabad, for release of the funds. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. The record does not disclose as to the manner in which the petitioner was entrusted with the construction work. However, in the letter, dated 23.10.2008, the Executive Engineer made a mention to the preparation of estimates and entrustment of the work to the petitioner. In case the work was entrusted to the petitioner and he executed the same as per the specifications, he cannot be denied the bills for it. If there exists any reason for non- payment of the amount to the petitioner, the same needs to be communicated. The matter cannot be kept in such a state of affairs indefinitely. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to finalise the matter relating to the payment of bills to the petitioner for construction of compound wall around the hospital building, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:21.10.2009 kdl
