THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2222 of 2008 Date: 07.02.2008 Between: M/s.Taj Electricals … Petitioner AND The Govt. of A.P., Rep by Secretary, Transport, Roads and Buildings Department, Hyderabad. And others … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri S.Gopal Rao. Counsel for respondents: A.G.P. for R&B. HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2222 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to pass orders on representation dated 27.12.2007 made by the petitioner for issuing administrative sanction with Letter of Credit for arrangement of payments including interest to the petitioner towards execution of electrical works in the premises of Veterinary, Biological and Research Institute, Shantinagar, Hyderabad and Sarojinidevi Eye Hospital, Hyderabad. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Roads and Buildings. A perusal of letter dated 27.11.2007 addressed by Superintending Engineer (R&B), Electrical Circle, Erramanzil, Hyderabad to the Chief Engineer (R&B), Buildings, Hyderabad shows that the petitioner executed certain works more than about 7 to 8 years back and since then payments are withheld for want of technical and other sanctions. In my considered opinion the respondents having got the works done through the petitioner are not justified in withholding payments by taking shelter under procedural wrangles. The writ petition is therefore, disposed of directing respondents 2 and 3 to accord necessary sanctions and ensure that the petitioner is paid his bills for the works executed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.2867 of 2008 filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:07.02.2008 mdaa
