Petitioner claims to be a contractor and performed certain works allotted by the respondents in terms of the contract. Grievance is that though sufficient time has lapsed but the admitted dues in respect of such work are not being released, so far. A representation in that regard has also been made on 24.4.2024, but since no decision upon it is taken by the respondents, the petitioner is before this Court. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents states that in the event no decision has been taken upon petitioner's claim, the same shall be examined by the competent authority, in accordance with law, expeditiously. 3. In view of the above, we dispose of this writ petition with the direction upon respondent no.4 to examine petitioner's claim, noticed above, by passing an appropriate reasoned order, in accordance with law, within a period of two months from the date of presentation of a certified copy of this order. In the event any amount is found due and payable to the petitioner, the same shall be released within a further period of one month, thereafter. 4. It is made clear that we have not adjudicated claim of the petitioner on merits and all factual issues are left open for examination by the competent authority.
