Since the contract period is maturing, the respondents issued the impugned tender notification inviting tender for the said work. It is always open for the petitioner to file its tender pursuant to the impugned tender notification but it cannot stall the tender process since the contract period is already expired. In view of the same, issuing tender notification calling tenders for the sanitation work cannot be termed as arbitrary and illegal. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ____________ A.GOPAL REDDY,J Dt. 1-10-2004 kmr To 1 The Commissioner, A.P.
