In spite of the same, the respondent no.6 has been inactive in issuing completion certificate to his client, as well as the final bill amount. He has indicated that two representations dated 07.02.2022 and 02.02.2024 have been submitted by the petitioner before the

authorities but to no avail. Necessary order has been prayed for in this case.

The State is represented.

However, the main answering respondent, that is respondent no.6, is not represented in spite of service of notice.

Considering the above, the respondent no.6 is directed to immediately consider and dispose of the petitioner's prayer vide letters dated 07.02.2022 and 02.02.2024 respectively.

In case the works done are found proper in terms of the contract, the said respondent is directed to immediately issue the completion certificate as well as disburse the amount of bill, raised by the petitioner in terms of the contract.

The writ petition is thus disposed of.

The exercise as above shall be concluded by the respondent no.6 within a period of three weeks from the date of communication of this order.
