For the Respondents :- Mr. P. K. Shahi, Advocate General. ------- 2 25/01/2010 The question raised by Mr. Jitendra Singh, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner merits consideration but the only reason why this Court is not willing to entertain this writ application at this stage is that the question has remained academic as the tenders have already been awarded and settled for the year in question. Learned Senior Counsel expresses serious reservation on such a clause being re-introduced in future tender notices. If that be so, then the petitioner is not - 2 - debarred from approaching this Court at an appropriate time for an appropriate direction. The present writ application is dismissed with the above liberty. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripasthi, J.)
