petitioner herein with due compliance of the conditions stipulated in the contract. After the completion of the above said works the then Additional Executive Engineer instructed the petitioner to do certain Extra works viz laying ceramic tiles and black stone (Kadappakkal) on the floors of the newly constructed rooms, granite stones for the computer tables and electrical wiring. Though the petitioner herein refused to perform the latter interior works which are uncovered by the contract, at the instance and the assurance given by the 2nd and 3rd respondents that they are yet to issue financial sanction from the 1st respondent for the said interior/extra works, the petitioner has completed the interior works at a cost of Rs.98,800/-. However, the 2nd and 3rd respondents failed to keep up their promise to receive financial sanction towards the work completed and thereby they wantonly prolonged the issue. In the mean time, the 1st respondent said to have issued approval for the cost of interior work for the above mentioned amount of Rs.98,800/-. Whereas to the shock of the petitioner, the 1st and 2nd respondents without disbursing the said amount to the petitioner herein, the then officials have returned Rs.90,000/- by retaining Rs.8,800/- with them.
