HON'BLE SHRI MUNISHWAR NATH BHANDARI,J. ORDER ----- In view of the fact that during the pendency of this matter, the time period for which the contract was to be granted vide Annexure 10 dated 15.03.2004 is already over and the learned Single Judge has already directed for return of the earnest money to the appellant. In that view of the matter, the controversy now remains only academic. Obviously, the respondents are to float fresh tender for grant of the contract. In that view of the matter, we are not inclined to keeping the matter pending any more and the same is disposed off as having become only academic. It is clarified that there appears to be no bar and the appellant can also participate in the fresh tender process. ( MUNISHWAR NATH BHANDARI ),J. ( N P GUPTA ),J. preety
