Petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the bill amounts due to the petitioner in respect of the work done has not been paid to the petitioner yet. The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents 2 & 3 submits that, the delay in payment is only because they are awaiting funds from the Corporation of Thiruvananthapuram in connection with the same work. But he submits that the amount can be paid within three months. In the above circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents 2 & 3 to see that the amount due to the petitioner is paid within three months from today. S.
