According to the petitioner, when his contract period was about to expire, he had requested for extension of the period. But, however, the same was rejected. This writ petition was filed at a time when the new terminal building was scheduled to be opened on 14/04/2007, and according to the petitioner, the respondents were proposing to give the work to the existing licensee on negotiation. In view of the above, this writ petition was filed praying to direct the respondents to invite fresh tenders for the work of collection of entry fee to the departure terminal for international passengers in the new Airport building. 2. At the stage of admission, this Court passed an interim order dated 11/04/2007 directing the respondents to ensure that the grant of work of collection of entry fee in the new Airport WP(C) No.12638/2007 -2- building shall only be by inviting tenders. Thus, with the interim order that was granted, the main relief itself is granted. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
