After execution of the contract- works, final bills were submitted to the Respondents stating that an amount of Rs. 28,03,229/- has still remained outstanding, for which, the Petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the Respondent authorities to release the said amount. 3. Ms. U.

Considering its relevance, this Court reproduces paragraph No. 6 hereinbelow: “6.
