SHAH Date of decision: 28/12/2004 ORAL JUDGEMENT #. In this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has challenged the action of the respondents in blacklisting the petitioner for a period of two years. #. During the pendency of this petition, two years have already elapsed and the period of blacklisting is already over. Under the circumstances, the petition has become academic. Without expressing any opinion on merits, the present petition is being disposed of as it has become infructuous by afflux of time. It goes without saying that as the period of blacklisting is already over, there is no difficulty in the way of the petitioner responding to any invitation of tender. Rule is discharged. No costs.
