On the basis of the mere fact that the petitioner has been engaged in the contract on month to month basis since 1994-95, he has no right for a perpetual contract for the maintenance works relating to BRKR Building Complex. Even otherwise, the tender notification challenged is for the period ending 31.03.2004. Hence, on merits as well as on the ground that the cause in the writ petition does not survive, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________ 27.12.2004 VGB To 1.
