Though there is no dispute as regards the petitioner being successful tenderer, the fact remains that, no award of tender has been made in favour of the petitioner, no allotment of shops has been made in favour of the petitioner and as such, the tendering authority has re-initiated a fresh tender process. The petitioner cannot have any grievance thereto. The petitioner would always be at liberty to participate in the fresh tender, which has been issued or to be issued. 4. Reserving such liberty, petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE AM/- CT-ASC List No.: 1 Sl No.: 57
