The petitioner sought for a consequential direction to 2nd respondent to call for fresh tenders without incorporating the above mentioned conditions for entrustment of the job work of printing of Nationalised textbooks. At the hearing, there is no representation for the parties. A perusal of the impugned G.O. shows that permission was granted therein for entrustment of printing and sale of Nationalised textbooks to the students studying in private schools by private publishers through open tender system for the academic year 2006-07 onwards. This Court by order dated 22-1-2007 declined to grant interim relief. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 3, it is inter alia stated that the petitioner’s bid was rejected on 22-3-2006 as he failed to fulfill the norms. Inasmuch as the impugned G.O. was given effect to as a result of the rejection of the interim relief, the cause on which the Writ Petition was founded does not survive for adjudication at this length of time. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________________ Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Date : 27-8-2010 AM
