Withdrawal of show cause notice and tender participation clarified, with unopened tenders open to the petitioner and proceedings disposed of.

The respondent undertook in open court to withdraw the show cause notice dated 31.1.2013 and earlier letters dated 11.01.2013, 14.01.2013 and 16.01.2013, and the Court recorded that withdrawal. It also noted that the petitioner could participate in tenders not yet opened, while no relief was available in respect of tenders already opened. In view of the parties' statements, including the petitioner's apology and the respondent's assurance to examine grievances and consider remedial measures, the petition and stay application were disposed of.
