TO JUDGE. svs ANTONY DOMINIC, J --------------------------------------- W.P(C) No.17788 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of July, 2011. J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed complaining of non payment of the amounts due in the final bill. The relief sought for is to direct the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P17 representation made for payment of the amount. 2. Heard the standing counsel for the respondent also. In view of the pendency of the said representation before the 2nd respondent, without expressing anything on the merits of the contentions raised, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P17 and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition.
