Petitioner is a contractor, registered with the

PWD department and other departments. Petitioner has

executed a work namely, Thalavady-Edathua-Muttar Road

under the OTM-Village Road ODR 2015-16 scheme

executing an agreement and completed the work to the

satisfaction of the respondents.

2. The case projected by the petitioner is that,

in spite of earnest efforts made by the petitioner,

the amounts due under part bill is not released to

the petitioner.

3. A detailed statement is filed, refuting the

allegations and claims and demands raised by the

petitioner.

4. However I find that, there is no much dispute

with respect to the bill raised by the petitioner,

and the dispute is with respect to the issue raised

by the petitioner that, the amounts due is a deposit

work. Since the amounts are not disputed, I think it

is only appropriate that necessary directions are

issued, to take into account, Ext.P9 Order issued by

the Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Engineer

dated 17.06.2019, directing to take appropriate

WP(C).No.12963 of 2019 3

action at the earliest possible.

5. Having heard learned counsel for the

petitioner and learned Senior Government Pleader and

perusing the pleadings and the documents on record,

there will be a direction to the 4^th respondent to

finalize the proceedings as is pointed out in

Ext.P10, taking into account Ext.P9 Government Order,

at the earliest possible and at any rate, within a

month from the date of receipt of a copy of this

judgment.

6. I make it clear that, if there are no legal

inhibitions standing in the wary, the amounts shall

be released to the petitioner at the earliest

possible thereafter.

The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
