W.V.S.RAJESWARI (S.C.FOR APSRTC) The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare tender notification, dated 12.06.2006 issued by the respondents inviting tenders for the Cycle/Scooter stand at APSRTC Bus Stand, Mahabubnagar, as arbitrary and illegal. On 22.09.2006, this Court while permitting the respondents to proceed with the impugned tender notification, observed that the license granted shall be subject to the further orders to be passed in the writ petition. At the hearing, Sri V.Ravinder Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the term of contract awarded to the petitioner expired on 04.04.2008. He, however, submitted that in view of the award of contract to third parties unlawfully during the currency of the petitioner’s contract, the petitioner suffered huge losses. Inasmuch as the contract was awarded in pursuance of the tender notification and the petitioner’s contract period expired, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration, but in view of the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that his client suffered huge losses on account of the alleged illegality in inviting tenders and awarding contract in favour of third parties during the currency of his contract, liberty is given to the petitioner to approach the appropriate Court of law for claiming compensation for the alleged loss incurred by him. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.24798 of 2006 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 15th APRIL, 2008 kvni
