For the Petitioner:MR.S.GOPAL RAO, Advocate For the Respondents: GP FOR ROADS & BUILDINGS The Court Made the Following : O R D E R : This writ petition is filed by the petitioner aggrieved by the action of the respondents in not disposing of the representation of the petitioner with reference to the payments payable to him for execution of electrical works for providing of temporary security lighting arrangements in connection with the Ganesh Idols Immersion. According to the petitioner, the respondents have invited tenders for providing security lighting arrangements in connection with the Ganesh Idols Immersion ceremony in the year 2003. In the said tenders, the petitioner was the lowest tenderer and accordingly the work was entrusted to him and he had executed the works. But, however, subsequent to the execution of the works, the respondents are not paying the amounts as per the tender conditions. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation on 15-4- 2004 to first respondent, marking copies to the second and third respondents. Even earlier to that, the petitioner made similar representations, but the respondents did not consider the claim of the petitioner and dispose of the said representations by effecting the payments. 2. At the time of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner contended that as the representation of the petitioner was not considered by the respondents and disposed of, the writ petition may be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner. The learned Government Pleader for Roads and Buildings could not get instructions in spite of the matter being adjourned from 22- 6-2004 to 29-6-2004. As the direction sought for is only to dispose of the representation of the petitioner, the writ petition itself can be disposed of at the admission stage. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing first respondent to dispose of the representation of the petitioner by passing appropriate orders with reference to the claims of the petitioner, expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. ______________________ (S.ANANDA REDDY,J) Dt.29-06-2004.
