P.CHANDRA SEKHAR REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: MR.GADI PRAVEEN KUMAR FOR MR.A.K.JAYAPRAKASH RAO The Court made the following : O R D E R: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not considering the petitioner firm for awarding the contract of providing ‘round-the-clock security services’ to Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams in terms of tender notification dated 05-04-2005. A perusal of the impugned tender notice shows that the tenders were called for, for a period of 12 months. As the said period expired on 05-04-2006, the cause in this writ petition does not survive for consideration. At the hearing, Sri Gadi Praveen Kumar, learned counsel representing Sri A.K.Jayaprakash Rao, learned Standing Counsel for Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams, submitted that the offending condition, namely; providing preferential treatment to the tenderers belonging to Rayalaseema region is withdrawn subsequent to the filing of this writ petition. For the above mentioned reasons, the writ petition has become infructuous and the same is, accordingly, dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to question the tender notifications in future, if he is aggrieved by any conditions contained therein. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition as infructuous, WPMP No.17378 of 2005 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dated 8th July, 2008 vrn
