Subsequently, on 28.02.2014, work order was issued to the petitioner and as a routine practice, the respondent has retained a sum of Rs.1,50,000/- before commencing work. After completion of the work, the petitioner sought for refund of the said amount. But the same was not refunded, and hence, the petitioner has given a representation on 13.08.2015 and the same has also not been considered so far by the respondent and therefore, present Writ petition has been filed.
