IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1401 of 2007 TAUFIQUE ALI KHAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 1.2.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The writ application has lost its meaning in the year 2010 since the challenge was for award of the work to the petitioner for a tender relating to the year 2006. Obviously thereafter the work must have been done and completed. No purpose will be served by passing any direction at this belated stage. Another question sought to be raised by the petitioner is as to whether a Mukhiya has fundamental right to seek contract and award from the respondent State as a citizen despite being a Mukhiya. This is a question which may be answered in an appropriate writ application at an appropriate opportunity. The writ application as of now is dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
