ORALORDER (Passed on 14m March, 2007) i n> The foltowing oral order of the Court was passed by H.L. Dattu, CJ. Petitioner is a contractor. In this petition filed under Articte 226 of the Constitution the onty relief sought for by the petitioner is to issue mandamus directing the respondents to allow the petitioner to perform the contract, which was proposed by the competent authority. 2) In the writ petition it is stated that respondents No. 1 to3 in a clandestine manner have awarded the contract to fte fourth respondent. Therefore, an allegation is made that the respondents have arbitrarily exercised their powers. Unfortunatety the petiBoner has not produced the contract that is awarded to the fourth respondent. In the absence of the said document, it may not be possibte to accept the contention canvassed by learned counsel for the petitioner. 3) In that view of the matter, in our opinion, the writ petition filed by the petitioner is fully premature, therefore, the petition is disposed of. However, liberty is reserved to the petitioner that if any occasion arises in future, the petitioner may approach this Court after obtaining a copy of the contract that was awarded to the fourth resp^qdent.
