THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12427 of 1997 ORDER: This Writ Petition is ﬁled challenging the action of the second respondent in entering into contract with respondents 3 to 6 for sale of one lakh metric tonne of barites ore. While admitting the Writ Petition on 23.06.1997, this Court passed an order granting interim direction. There is no representation either for the petitioner or for the respondents. A perusal of the record discloses that the contract itself was for a period of one year. More than 10 years have elapsed ever since the Writ Petition was ﬁled and interim order was granted. This Court is of the view that nothing remains to be decided in this Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ Dt.19.11.2008 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J GJ
