Sekhar Babu Counsel for the respondents : AGP for Women and Child Welfare This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3879 of 2008 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in insisting for submission of tenders with the amount less than five paise as stipulated in clause 9 of the tender application, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioners also sought for issue of fresh tenders and to accept the lowest tenderer. At the hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Women and Child Welfare placed before me the record, which revealed that much before the filing of the writ petition, tenders were finalized on the basis of the recommendations of the District Purchase Committee and the period of contract commenced from 01.03.2008 to 28.02.2009. In view of the finalization of the contract even before filing of the writ petition, the writ petition has become infructuous and is accordingly dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition as infructuous, WPMP.No.5069 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is also dismissed as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 13.03.2008 ES
