Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and
the learned Government Pleader, I find that the question as to
whether the respondents are entitled to unilaterally realise risk
and cost from the petitioner, requires detailed hearing.
The petitioner relies on the decision of this Court in
Kaikkara Construction Company v. State of Kerala and
Another [2022 (2) KHC 541] while the learned Government
Pleader submits that the said judgment is in appeal.
Post after a month. Till such time, coercive steps based on
Ext.P17 shall be kept in abeyance.
