The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus to resume a tender auction and issue a work order. The respondents stated that the auction was given up due to lack of funds and a fresh tender for bio-mining would be called later. Consequently, the court closed the petition.
The writ petition is closed; no order regarding continuation of the tender was passed.
