                       Dated this the 21st day of May, 2024

                                       JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with the following prayers:-

" 1.To issue a Writ of Certiorari or any other order setting aside Ext.P7 and Ext.P8 notices by directing the respondents to publish a proper legal tender notice affording an opportunity for petitioners to participate in the bid for the awarding of works in a fair and proper manner according to law prescribed for the purpose of tender and quotation of work by respondents.

2. To grant such other reliefs this Hon'ble Court deems fit."

The challenge is against Exhibits P7 and P8 notices. Ext P7 is an e-tender notice. No interim order is passed in this case. Probably the prayers might have become infructuous. Therefore, the writ petition need not be retained further. The writ petition is, therefore, closed.
