Petitioner who claims to be ex-serviceman purchased tender forms. He made a representation on 03.09.2004 seeking clariﬁcation as to the area earmarked for the purpose, in vain. However, he did not submit tender. When there was no response to the clariﬁcation, he ﬁled instant writ petition seeking stay of all further proceedings pursuant to tender notice. This Court admitted the writ petition on 09.09.2004 and disposed of miscellaneous petition being W.P.M.P.No.20823 of 2004 for interim order observing that tender process shall be subject to result of writ petition. As rightly pointed out by learned Assistant Government Pleader for Medical and Health Department, contract for parking place was only for one year, which already expired. Therefore, at this point of time, cause of action does not survive. The writ petition is therefore dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 10.11.2008. pln To 1 Govt of A.P., through its Director of Medical Education, Koti, Hyderabad. 2 Superintendent, Gandhi Hospital, Musheerabad, Secunderabad. 3 Two CCs to Government Pleader for Medical, Health & Family Welfare, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad. 4 Two C.D.Copies.
