A perusal of the impugned notiﬁcation shows that the same was issued inviting tenders for grant of Quarry lease for a period of one year. As the said period has expired in the year 2003, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. 3. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate legal remedy, if fresh cause of action arises. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.8492 of 2002 and WVMP.No.1532 of 2002 are dismissed as infructuous. _______________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J 24.10.2008 v v
