PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 24085 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 24TH DAY OF AUGUST, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner states that he completed certain works for Thiruvananthapuram Corporation and amounts are due on account of that transaction. This essentially is a civil dispute, relating to a contract, but the matter apparently relates to the maintenance of a Government Hospital. Taking that into consideration, it is ordered that the second respondent shall take up Ext.P2 and take a decision thereon. If any amount is found due, let that be disbursed, within a period of two months from now. If the Corporation concludes that the whole or part of the amount claimed in Ext.P2 is not to be released, the second respondent Corporation will issue appropriate decision so that the petitioner can then ventilate his grievance before the competent authority. Writ petition ordered accordingly, leaving open all other issues. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE 2 lgk/25/8
