HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18909 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is a Trader in electrical goods and sanitary materials. The Bhadrachalam Municipality, 2nd respondent herein, issued short tender notice, dated 17-08-2007, proposing to purchase certain electrical items manufactured by M/s. Bajaj, Crompton and Philips companies for the financial year 2007-08. The petitioner challenges the tender notice on two grounds. The first ground is that the Bhadrachalam Municipality is not in existence and the Commissioner has no jurisdiction to issue tender notice. The second is that the restriction of supply of the goods manufactured by only certain companies is untenable. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration & Urban Development and the learned Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent. 3. This Court did not grant any interim order while admitting the writ petition on 06-09-2007. The petitioner, no doubt, raised two important grounds in the writ petition. However, this Court does not feel any necessity to deal with the same for the reason that the duration of supply of goods under the impugned tender notice is only for the financial year 2007-08. The period of supply had expired and hence, the writ petition has become infructuous. 4. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.
