It is also<\/p>\n<p>stated that another work of construction of Thrissur Link Road<\/p>\n<p>connecting NH-17 at Anchalkallu and Thrissur Kuttupuram State<\/p>\n<p>Highway at Puzhakkal was also awarded to the petitioner in<\/p>\n<p>respect of which agreement dated 19.8.2004 was executed. It is<\/p>\n<p>submitted by the petitioner that on account of reasons which are<\/p>\n<p>attributable to respondents the works could not be completed.<\/p>\n<p>Several representations have been made by the petitioner for<\/p>\n<p>payment due and also for revising the rates that were awarded.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the petitioner submitted Exts. P10 and P13 to the second<\/p>\n<p>respondent requesting that the contracts be closed without claim<\/p>\n<p>for damages on either side and payments be made for the work<\/p>\n<p>executed. In this writ petition, what is asked for is to direct the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC3236\/2008                      2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P10 and<\/p>\n<p>P13 representations.\n<\/p>\n<p>     2.    I have heard the learned Government Pleader also in<\/p>\n<p>the matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>     3.    Having regard to the fact that Exts.

P10 and P13 and take a final decision in the matter. This<\/p>\n<p>shall be done within four weeks of a production of a copy this<\/p>\n<p>judgment.    I also clarify that in case, considering the relief<\/p>\n<p>sought for by the petitioner, it is necessary to refer the matter to<\/p>\n<p>any superior authority. It will be open to the 2nd respondent to<\/p>\n<p>do that as well.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The writ petition is disposed of as directed above.<\/p>\n<p>                                     ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE<br \/>\ncsl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court K.
