Definitely, the petitioner would be entitled to raise all Patna High Court CWJC No.13808 of 2022 dt.06-04-2023 2/2 legal contentions against such reopening, if at all attempted. We close the writ petition with the aforesaid liberty.

As a result, this Court sets aside the impugned judgment dated 02.07.2021 passed by the learned Additional District Judge VIII, Aurangabad in Civil Misc. Application Case No. 79 of 2018 / 02 of 2021 as well the impugned Award. The matter is remitted to the Arbitrator to conduct the Arbitration in accordance with the procedures provided under the Act of 1996 Patna High Court MA No.651 of 2021 dt.05-04-2023 36/36 and pass an award in accordance with law within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.

In light of these facts and circumstances, the competent authority is hereby directed to take note of new development in the matter to the extent that the petitioner has completed the work on 28.02.2023 and to proceed to pass an order, in accordance with the law. Accordingly, the petitioner has made out a prima facie case. Therefore, the impugned order dated 07.04.2021 (Annexure-7) is set aside so far as it is concerned with Patna High Court CWJC No.10597 of 2021 dt.23-03-2023 4/4 Prayer No. (a) of the present writ petition.

Petitioner's licence is stated to have been cancelled and an inspection was conducted in the year 2014 whereas a show cause notice was issued in the year 2018. These events suffice to interfere with the impugned decision read with the fact that it has already spent its force to the extent that the impugned action of suspension of licence would not be a hurdle for his future participation in any of the tender.

In the above facts and circumstances, the present petition does not survive. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands disposed of.
