or the failure to complete any work and without prejudice to

contentions of the petitioners regarding the total outstandings

due to them, this writ petition is ordered directing that all

admitted amounts shall be released within a period of 45 days

from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is clarified

that all issues on merits are left open.
