These three Writ Appeals are filed by respondent Nos.4 to 6 in W.P. No.8585 of 2010. The said Writ Petition was filed by three advertising companies/firms questioning the action of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (for short ‘the Corporation’) in awarding contracts by way of nomination, terming them as “pilot projects”, to respondent Nos.3 to 6 in the Writ Petition vide proceedings dated 02.09.2009, 25.01.2009 and 09.06.2009. These proceedings were challenged on the ground that the process of public auction or tender was not followed, and award of contracts by nomination was arbitrary, illegal and in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Writ Petition was allowed by order dated 26.04.2011, and the contracts awarded in favour of respondents 4 to 6 were set aside. The learned Single Judge noted that the contract, awarded in favour of the third respondent in the Writ Petition, was terminated by proceedings dated 02.04.2011 on account of the lapses pointed out therein and, in so far as the third respondent was concerned, the grievance of the petitioners stood redressed. The Writ Petition was allowed setting aside the order
