JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. Harpreet S. Rakhra, Advocate, for the petitioner. M.M. KUMAR, J. This petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to clear the dues of the petitioner, inasmuch as, the final bill of the payments though prepared but has not been released to the petitioner till date. In this regard the petitioner has already sent a legal notice dated 28.6.2005 (P-2), however, no reply is stated to have been received. Without going into the merits of the case, we deem it just and appropriate to direct the respondents to take cognizance of the legal notice, dated 28.6.2005 (P-2) sent by the petitioner and decide the same expeditiously preferably within a period of two months from the date a certified copy of this order is presented to them. If the C.W.P. No. 11570 of 2008 claim of the petitioner is found to be meritorious and decided in its favour then the benefit accruing to it shall be disbursed within two weeks thereafter. It shall be appreciated if a speaking order is passed. Petition stands disposed of in the above terms. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (SABINA) July 9, 2008 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
