It was primarily contended by the petitioner that since the contract in its favour was in subsistence till 31-10-2007, the impugned notification inviting fresh tenders was arbitrary and illegal. This Court, while directing notice to the respondents, by order, dated 05-03-2007, granted interim stay of all further proceedings pursuant to the impugned notification and the same continued to be in operation all through. Since admittedly the contract in favour of the petitioner had expired during the pendency of this Writ Petition, nothing survives for adjudication on merits at this point of time. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. No costs. ____________ G.ROHINI, J Dt.01.06.2009 PN/VGB
