Standing Counsel for the Railways submitted that steps have already been taken by the Railways for awarding fresh tenders on regular basis. Now that the counsel has made this submission, all that remains is that the Railways should expedite the process and complete the same WP(c).Nos.36242/08&37026/o8 2 without delay. This is the complaint which survives for the petitioner. Therefore, the writ petitions are disposed of directing that the process of fresh tender as undertaken by the counsel for the Railways shall be expedited and completed as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 3 months from today.
