After the execution of the said works he had submitted final bills. On account of the delay in the matter of disbursement of the amounts covered by the said bills, the petitioner submitted Exts.P3 and P4 representations requesting for disbursement of the amount, expeditiously. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the receipt of Exts.P3 and P4 representations no action whatsoever was taken in the matter of disbursement of the amount covered by the bills pertaining to the aforesaid works. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the respondent. Taking note of the fact that the petitioner has already submitted final bills and thereafter submitted Exts.P3 and P4 representations and that Exts.P3 and P4 representations are still pending before the second respondent Corporation, I am WPC.No.5286/2011 : 2 : inclined to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P3 and P4 representations, in accordance with law, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. It is made clear that this Court has not made any observation with respect to the merits of the contentions of the petitioner either in this writ petition or in Exts.P3 and P4. Sd/-(C.T.
