Judgment The petitioner carried out certain works in terms of tenders invited by the second respondent TRIDA. It has also duly certified the value of the work as per Ext.P2. The work appears to have been done for construction of retaining wall to the new road by the side of CEC Aided Market at Nedumangadu. In relation to the electrical work, Ext.P3 judgment was issued by this Court directing the TRIDA to make payments. Though the learned counsel for TRIDA states that the amount has to be released by the Agricultural Department in Government, I agree with the views expressed in Ext.P3 judgment that the second respondent is an autonomous body and having entered into an agreement, it has the duty and responsibility to make the payment. It is hence ordered that the amount due to the petitioner will be released by WPC29708/09 -: 2 :- TRIDA within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment without prejudice to TRIDA's right for reimbursement of the amount from any other authority which is bound to pay to TRIDA in terms of their contracts, if any, inter se. The writ petition ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/0602
