In this writ petition, the petitioner is assailing the notification issued by respondents - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:46228 WP No. 26113 of 2022 through e-procurement portal dated 24.11.2024 (Annexure-A) and other notifications produced at Annexure-B, C, D and E and other consequential reliefs. 3. On perusal of the material placed on record, it is seen that the tender in question is pertaining to the period 2022–2023. As the tender period had already lapsed by efflux of time, the cause of action raised in the writ petition no longer survives for consideration. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served in examining the validity of the impugned notifications at this stage. In that view of the matter, the relief sought for by the petitioner has become infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB:List No.: 1 Sl No.: 15
