The writ petition has been instituted with the following relief: “In the premises aforesaid, it is humbly prayed that Your Lordships would graciously be pleased to: (I) Admit this writ petition; (II) Call for the record; (III) issue a Rule, calling upon the respondents to show causes or causes as to why impugned Tender Notice No. RAP/A-56/2023-24/2284-99, dated 09.05.2023 be not stayed till disposal of the instant writ petition. (IV) issue a writ in the nature of mandamus and/or certiorari directing the respondents to dispose of the representation, dated 19.05.2023 and upon cause or causes being shown and after hearing the parties make the rule absolute and/or pass such order/orders as Your Lordships may deem fit and proper for the ends of justice. AND In the interim, during the pendency of the writ petition, Your Lordships may be pleased to stay the impugned Tender Notice No. RAP/A-56/2023-24/2284-99, dated 09.05.2023 issued by the respondent No. 10 and/ or pass such other order/ orders as Your Lordships may deem fit and proper for the ends of justice. And for this act of kindness the petitioner as in duty bound shall ever pray.” It however transpires that the tender notice dated 09.05.2023 which was the Page No.# 4/4 subject matter of challenge was acted upon and in the meantime, more than 2 years have passed. This Court has also noted that while issuing notice on 22.06.2023, no interim order was passed. However, there is another part in the prayer relating to consideration and disposal of the representation dated 19.05.2023. Taking into account, the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that by lapse of time, the substantial relief sought for has become infructuous and accordingly, the writ petition is closed. It is however observed that if the representation dated 19.05.2023 has not been disposed of till now, the same be taken up for consideration and disposed of in accordance with law. Writ petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
