The proposal was, accordingly, sent to the first respondent, who by impugned order dated 30.7.2004 cancelled the auction proceedings and directed to conduct fresh auction. These proceedings are assailed. This Court while admitting the writ petition directed the third respondent to permit the petitioner to supply flowers as per the work order dated 03.6.2004. When the interlocutory matters are pending for consideration today, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the contract period was upto 31.3.2005 and therefore, nothing survives in this writ petition. It is not denied. Now, as per the directions of the first respondent, the third respondent has to conduct auction afresh. In that event, it shall be open to the petitioner to participate in the auction. The writ petition, with the above observations, is dismissed. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 22.06.2005 YS To 1 The Commissioner of Endowments, Endowments Department, Hyderabad. 2 The Regional Joint Commissioner, Endowments Department, Hyderabad. 3 The Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Endowments Department, Hyderabad. 4 The Executive Officer, Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Devasthanam, Yadagirigutta, Nalgonda District. 5 Two CCs to the Government Pleader for Endowments, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.
