No.37768/2009-M & 37824/2009-W ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 29th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T In these two writ petitions, the challenge is against one of the conditions in Ext.P1 wherein, the second respondent-Corporation fixed the age of the Truck as 12 years instead of 15 years. It is mainly contended that the same is arbitrary and illegal. The respondents have filed statements in both the writ petitions opposing the prayers also. Going by the tender notification, the last date for submission of the tender was 05/01/2010. This Court has not granted any interim order allowing the petitioners to submit tenders. In the absence of any tenders submitted by petitioners, no effective orders could be issued in this writ petition. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that their contentions may be left open. Therefore, leaving open the contentions of the parties, the writ petitions are closed. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
