GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/10/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 30622 OF 2010 (C) ===================== Dated this the 6th day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was the successful tenderer for collecting parking fee at the Cherai Beach. Initially, the contract period was from 1/11/2006 to 31/10/2007. However, the period of the contract was extended and is to expire on 31/10/2010. Petitioner submits that even during the extended period, for reasons which are not attributable to him, he could not collect the parking fee. On that basis, he sought further extension of the period of contract by making Ext.P8 representation. However, the respondents have published Ext.P10, a fresh tender notice and it is aggrieved by Ext.P10, the writ petition is filed. 2. As already seen, the extended period of contract awarded to the petitioner is expiring on 31/10/2010. Unless the respondents extend the contract period by themselves, the petitioner cannot claim any vested right to get the period extended or to prevent the respondents from proceeding with the tender for the period after 31.10.2010. Therefore, as the petitioner cannot resist the fresh tender now invited, I see no WPC No. 30622/10 :2 : merit in the writ petition. Writ petition is dismissed. However, this judgment will not stand in the way of the petitioner pursuing Ext.P8 representation filed by him. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
