There is a preliminary objection raised on behalf of the respondent Corporation in the changed situation that the dealership awarded in favour of the private respondent stands commissioned on 31.12.2007 and the writ has become infructuous. The submission as above merits consideration, there is no assertion of the right of the petitioner to prevent such eventuality after filing of the writ application. No steps have been taken to pursue the matter or seek any stay to prevent any letter of intent being issued in favour of the selected candidate or the commissioning of the retail outlet. - 2 - N.H./ Since the outlet has already been commissioned on 31.12.2007 and no steps were taken by the petitioner the writ cannot be entertained and court has reservation in exercising its power to undo things which have been allowed to be done at such belated stage. The objection of the counsel for the Corporation seems to be correct. The writ application is dismissed. ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
