He claims to have done work for an amount of Rs.12 lakhs and collected materials for a further amount of Rs.3 lakhs. It is stated that despite the above, the work he did was not measured and payment also has not been made except payment of Rs.2,16,000/-. It is complaining of non-payment for the work done he filed this writ petition after making representations in this behalf. Evidently, therefore, work is incomplete and the claim of the petitioner is confined to the work he allegedly executed. At this stage, the proper course of action to be taken is to direct the 3rd respondent, before whom Exts.P8 and P9 representations have been made by the petitioner, to consider the claim raised by the petitioner and pass orders thereon. This the 3rd respondent shall WPC.No.4779 /2010 :2 : do as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 4 weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
