IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.5011 of 2011 Date of Decision : March 18, 2011. The Datar Co-Op. L & C Society Ltd. & Anr. .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rajesh Kumar Girdhar, Advocate, for the petitioners. Ms.Monica Chhibber Sharma, DAG, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Ms.Monica Chhibber Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Let three copies of the writ petition be handed over to her during the course of day. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioners are Co-operative Labour and Construction Societies Limited who have been allotted works of rehabilitation of Kotla Branch by constructing sidelining on various RDs, as detailed in para No.2 C.W.P.No .5011 of 2011 2 of the petition, which are said to have been executed by them to the entire satisfaction of the authorities and thereafter only, the final bills have been submitted in November, 2010. It is alleged that despite the directions contained in the Government Notification dated 15.8.2009 to the effect that `payments should be made to the Labour and Construction Societies every fortnightly for the work executed', the respondents have failed to release the payments to the petitioner for the admitted works executed by it despite a representation dated 20.1.2011 (Annexure P-2) made on behalf of the petitioners. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider and dispose of the afore-mentioned claim of the petitioners as contained in the representation dated 20.1.2011 (Annexure P-2), by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioners are found entitled to any payment, the same shall also be released to them within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
