However, a perusal of the tender notice indicates that the said notice was issued notifying certain sanitation works for the year 2007-08. In view of the fact that the very period of contract itself is already over and as there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner, the writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. No order as to costs. _____________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J. Date: 27.04.2009 Nsr
