Pursuant to a tender notiﬁcation dated 03.02.2004 issued by ﬁrst respondent inviting tenders for providing one diesel ambulance van round the clock on hire basis for a period of one year up to 31.03.2005, the petitioner submitted tender. The petitioner quoted Rs.595/- per day, whereas M/s. Sujana Travels and Satya Sai Nursing Home quoted Rs.650/- and Rs.690/- respectively. In spite of the same, ﬁrst respondent allegedly called third respondent, namely, M/s. Ganesh Enterprises, for awarding the contract. Aggrieved by the same, instant writ petition is filed. This Court, while ordering notice before admission on 01.04.2004, stayed the award of contract to third respondent. It is brought to the notice of this Court that thereafter the contract was not allotted to anybody and the period of contract of one year expired. A perusal of the notiﬁcation would show that the contract itself is for a period of one year up to 31.03.2005 and therefore, nothing survives in the writ petition. It shall be open to the petitioner and other eligible suppliers to tender as and when tenders are called-for for supply of diesel ambulance van. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 01st September, 2008 GHN To 1 Superintending Engineer (O&M-I) KTPS V-Stage, Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Ltd., Paloncha, Khammam District 2 Chief Engineer (O&M) KTPS V-Stage, Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Ltd., Paloncha, Khammam District 3 Ganesh Enterprises, Door No. 86/15/17, Chakra Apartments, Tilak Road, Chakra Apartments, Tilak Road, Rajahmundry rep by Prop.
