JUSTICE B M SHYAM PRASAD - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:7466 WP No. 6997/2025 ORAL ORDER The petitioner has called in question the Tender Notification dated 13.03.2024 issued by M/s. Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board to secure manpower. Mr. P. V. Chandrashekar, the learned counsel for the first and second respondents, contends that Work Orders have been issued to L1 bidders way back in February 2025 and therefore the petition is rendered infructuous. The learned counsel submits that even if the petitioner could canvas grievance, it must avail remedy under Section 16 of the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurements (KTPP) Act, 1999. This Court finds these submissions formidable and the petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner subject to all just exceptions in law. Sd/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE RB
