(Oral) The challenge in this writ petition is against the tender notice dated 3.1.2011. The petitioner seeks to challenge the aforesaid tender notice inter alia, on the ground that his representation against one of the tenderers, who has responded to an earlier tender notice i.e. Jagjit Singh, had not been disposed of though so ordered by this Court in CWP No.17043 of 2010. Yet, the fresh tender notice dated 3.1.2011 has been issued. The respondents have filed a reply enclosing therewith an order dated 5.3.2011 passed by the General Manager (Region) Food Corporation of India, Regional Office, Punjab, Chandigarh. In the said order, the details of the action taken on the representation filed by the C.W.P. No.1321 of 2011 -2- present petitioner has been indicated. Learned counsel for the petitioner, on reading the said reply, has submitted that the process initiated by the tender notice dated 3.1.2011 may be allowed to continue and the writ petition be disposed of by requiring the steps taken pursuant to the representation, as indicated in the order dated 5.3.2011, be brought to its logical conclusion. Having heard the learned counsels for the parties , we are of the view that the writ petition should be disposed of by now permitting the process initiated by notice dated 3.1.2011 to be completed and further with a direction to the respondents that the action undertaken as indicated in the order dated 5.3.2011 (Annexure R-1 to the reply) be brought to its logical conclusion without any delay.
