The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that although the petitioner has completed the work satisfactorily, the bill amounts due to the petitioner for the work has not been disbursed to him yet, although, the work was completed as early as in 2006. On 16.12.2008, I passed the following order: “Learned standing counsel for the 1st respondent Panchayat submits that a meeting of the Panchayat committee is being convened to take a decision in view of the order of this Court dated 9.12.2008. Post on 1.1.2009, on which date the 1st respondent shall inform this Court as to within what time the amounts due to the petitioner can be paid.” Today the learned counsel for the 1st respondent Panchayat submits that the amounts due to the petitioner would be paid within three months. This is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to see that the amounts due to the petitioner is paid within three months from today.
