BY SRI. M. DINESH, SC THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cont. Case No. 1720 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 12th day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T When the writ petition in which Annexure A1 order was passed came up on 15.7.2008, the learned standing counsel for the water authority submitted that the petitioner can approach the 3rd respondent to collect the admitted amount on the basis of which Annexure A1 order was passed. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that working charges which are not disputed have not been paid. In the counter affidavit filed in the contempt case, it has been stated that although working charges are disputed, it has been decided to make the payment for the working charge which was found inadmissible for payment while admitting the 1st and part bill. What stands in the way of paying the same is that the petitioner has not executed the supplementary agreement as required under law. That being so, it is now admitted that if the petitioner executes the supplementary agreement the working charges also would be paid, without prejudice to the contentions of the water authority in the writ petition. Accordingly, the contempt case is disposed of with the following directions: 2. The petitioner shall appear before the respondent on Cont. Case No. 1720 of 2008 - 2 - 27.1.2008, on which date, the respondent shall keep the supplementary agreement ready for signature. The petitioner shall execute the supplementary agreement on that date. Thereupon the respondent shall pay the working charges as stated in the paragraph 7 of the counter affidavit to the petitioner within two weeks therefrom. The contempt case is disposed of as above.
