BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.N.SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.33121 of 2008 ------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of November, 2008. JUDGMENT The issue raised in this writ petition was dealt with by me in Ext.P3 judgment, in which it was mentioned that it is open to the petitioner to approach the Board with a representation/appeal challenging the order passed by the Deputy Chief Engineer cancelling his contract. 2. It seems to be fairly clear that though the petitioner had approached the Board vide Ext.P4, it was turned down. In such circumstances, I cannot find fault in proceeding to further calling for tenders, as evidenced by Ext.P5. 3. Nevertheless, taking note of the directions already issued in Ext.P3, the Board shall pass orders on Ext.P4 within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is open to the Board to process the tenders received, but final award of the tender shall be made only after orders are passed on Ext.P4. Writ petition is disposed of above.
