At the hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Irrigation and Command Area Development appearing for the respondents has not disputed that the petitioner completed execution of work. However, he invited my attention to the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.3- Executive Engineer (I/c) Special M.L.Division, K.R.Puram, West Godavari District, wherein it is mentioned that in connection with two complaints filed by two different individuals, Anti-Corruption Bureau (for short “ACB”) authorities have seized the records including M.Books and L.F. Books on 31-10-2008 and that in view of the same, the direction given by the District Legal Services Authority for making final payment to the petitioner before 15-12-2008 could not be given effect to. Respondent No.3 has, however, undertaken that the final bills will be prepared and submitted to the Pay and Accounts Office, Drainage Wing, Eluru, for payment to the petitioner after obtaining the records from the ACB authorities. The learned Government Pleader submitted that the respondents will make payment of the final bill to the petitioner within a period of three months from today. The submission of the learned Government Pleader for Irrigation and Commercial Area Development is placed on record and the Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.16754 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 17th July, 2009 Note: Furnish CC in one week.
