At the hearing, Sri S.V. Ramana, learned counsel for the petitioners fairly submitted that since the duration of the contract, for which the impugned tender notice has been issued, expired in the year 2005 itself, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition as infructuous, WPMP.No.9278 of 2005 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 23.06.2008 ES
