I I ORDER: The present Writ Petition came to be filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:- “...to issue a Writ, Order, or Direction more particularly one in the nature of WRIT OF MANDAMUS or any other appropriate writ or direction declaring the action of the respondents in not releasing the pending due payments of amount Rs. 3,14,096/- even after finalizing the bills, payable to the petitioner in relation to the work i.e., to Laying of CC Road and CC Drain from D.No.21/503 to D.No.21/505/1 and from yamaha show room to D.No.21/515/310 at Ambedkar Nagar in Municipality of Agreement.No.220/2023-24, M.Book No. 146/2023-24 for Adoni Municipality Under GGMP Funds 2023-24, as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Art 14 and 21 of Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondent authorities to release the pending amounts of Rs. 3,14,096/- with interest for the pending bills forthwith for the above said work executed by the petitioner and pass. E.W.No.17 in Adoni dated 20.01.2024 vide 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the respondents. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even though respondents admitted that the petitioner is entitled for payment of the / i / aforesaid sum of money, no payment is being made and such non-payment of money is clearly arbitrary and high-handed and thereby requires interference by this Court. 4. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration and Urban Development submitted that the amounts payable to the petitioner are admitted bills. However, due to lack of funds, the bill amounts have not been uploaded in the CFMS portal. In view of the above instructions, since the bill amount claimed by the petitioner is an admitted bill, this Court feels it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to release amount of Rs.3,14,096/- to the petitioner within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
