I am spared of the task of considering the matter on merits, since the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the BSNL submits that the petitioner being the lowest among the tenderers, tender can be awarded to the petitioner. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
