Essentially the petitioner was seeking to get a contract for collection of octroi. The period for which the dispute was raised is over. Even otherwise octroi has been abolished by the State Government. The petition has, therefore, become infructuous. The same is disposed of accordingly. Rule is discharged. No order as to costs.
