The HC directed the Chief Engineer to decide the petitioner's pending representation by a self-contained speaking order within 90 days, taking into account specified documentary annexures; if the petitioner is found entitled to any contractual dues, respondent must release the amount with interest from the date of entitlement until payment, applying the principle in Union of India v.
