M/s Union Builders and Constructors .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Tribhawan Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is a Government approved Contractor who was allegedly allotted the wok contract for upgradation of the Barnala Thikriwala Road (Package No.1717) and Barnala Mullowal Road (Package No.PB-1719). The petitioner avers that the works have already been executed by it to the entire satisfaction of the authorities and thereafter, final bills were submitted in August, 2009 but the respondents have yet not released the payments even for the works admittedly executed by the petitioner. A legal notice dated 27.5.2010 (Annexure P-11) is also said to have been served on its behalf. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it C.W.P.No .17872 of 2010 2 appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 4 to consider the claim of the petitioner as contained in its legal notice dated 27.5.2010 (Annexure P-11) and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioner is found entitled to any payment, the same shall also be released to it within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
