Today when the matter is taken up for hearing, none appeared for the petitioner. 3. As seen from the record, it is clear that the writ petition is filed challenging the tender notification issued in the year 2017. Due to lapse of much time, it is apparent that nothing survives in the writ petition. Hence, the matter has become infructuous. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA, J 30.01.2026 DDvvss NV,J W.P.No.20016 of 2017 HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA 188 WRIT PETITION NO: 20016/2017 30.01.2026 DDvvss
