It further appears that the Tahbazari Theka/Contract was granted in favour of the respondent No. 5. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by grant of Tahbazari Theka/Contract in favour of the respondent No. 5, and has filed the present Writ Petition seeking various reliefs. 3. From narration of the facts given above, it is evident that the Tahbazari Theka/Contract granted in favour of the respondent No. 5 has been for the period from 1.4.2012 to 31.3.2013. 4. The petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present Writ Petition on 22nd December, 2012, i.e., after about nine months since the commencement of Theka/Contract in favour of the respondent No. 5. 5. The period of Theka/Contract in favour of the respondent No. 5 is going to expire on 31st March, 2013. 6.
