The same is assailed in the writ petition by the petitioners, namely, T.T.D.S.V.Vaikuntam “Q” Complex Salesmen Association and T.T.D.T.S.Workers Union. After hearing the learned Standing Counsel for the TTD, this Court is convinced that the petitioners have no right to compel the TTD to award the contract to the petitioners. Further, the tender itself was for the period ending with 31.3.2000 and therefore, the cause of action does not survive. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 08.6.2005 YS To 1 The Executive Officer, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, Tirupati, Chittoor District. 2 The Secretary, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Revenue (Endowment Department), Secretariat Building, Hyderabad. 3 Two CCs to the Government Pleader for Endowments, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.
