THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.899 of 2008 Dated 09th August, 2011 Between: Sri Lingamsetty Durga Prasad …Petitioner And Municipal Corporation of Guntur, Guntur, rep.by its Commissioner and another …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Ghanta Rama Rao Counsel for respondent No.1: Sri G.Tuhin Kumar The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in not taking action against respondent No.2 for non- payment of the lease amount as per the tender conditions and permitting respondent No.2 to collect the fees in Rao Bahadur P.V.K.Naidu Vegetable Market and Kolli Sarada Wholesale Vegetable Market, Guntur, despite the default committed by respondent No.2, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the period for which respondent No.2 was granted lease has already expired. The petitioner was unsuccessful in the tender process held by respondent No.1. Even if all the pleas of the petitioner are accepted that would have eventually led to termination of the lease held by respondent No.2. With the expiry of the lease period, the field is left open to the petitioner to participate in the tenders if and when they are called for. In this view of the matter, the cause for adjudication of the writ petition on merits ceases to exist with the expiry of the period of lease held by respondent No.2. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous with liberty to the petitioner to approach respondent No.1 for inviting fresh tenders. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.Nos.1069 and 5404 of 2008 are disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 09th August, 2011 VGB
