CWP-18449-2020 --2-- Notice of motion.

At this stage, Ms. Kanica Sachdeva, AAG, Punjab, accepts notice.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and with their able assistance have perused the pleadings of the case. The limited prayer made in the instant writ petition is for release of the due payment of Rs.2,00,000/-. Since the prayer of the petitioner is limited to the extent of release of due payment qua the earth works, this petition is being disposed of, by giving a direction to the respondents to consider legal notice (P-2) and averments made in the instant petition and decide the same in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. It is made clear that if the alleged payment is due towards the petitioner, the same be released. (SANT PARKASH) November 04, 2020 JUDGE sonika whether speaking/reasoned: Yes/No whether reportable:
