J U D G M E N T The petitioner has executed certain works on behalf of the respondent-Corporation. The petitioner's grievance is that amounts due for executing that work is not being disbursed to the petitioner. 2. A counter affidavit has been filed by the respondent in which the liability to pay is not disputed. They would submit that an amount of Rs. 2,29,35,385/- has already been paid for the work. They submit that although the petitioner has executed the work to the satisfaction of the Corporation, regarding certain variation and additional items of work, sanction from the Government has to be obtained and that is why delay has occurred for payment of the balance amount. However, it is submitted that the amount can be disbursed expeditiously. In the above circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to disburse the balance amounts due to the petitioner for the work done by him, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
