S.K.Sharma Contractor & Engineers .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Sanjay Nagpal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms.Monica Chhibber Sharma, DAG, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. 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-Company is an approved “A” Class Contractor who is said to have executed the works allotted to it by the respondents for 'upgradation of Garhdiwala to Hoshiarpur Dasuya Road to Koi Bruhi Dholbaha under Pradhan Mangri Gram Sadak Yojna. It is averred that the C.W.P.No .4108 of 2011 2 work has been executed by the petitioner to the entire satisfaction of the respondent-authorities, however, its payment is not being released despite the submission of the final bills. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 2.2.2011 (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 its 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 08, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
