The only apprehension of the petitioner is that even though the petitioner is ready and willing to participate in the tender, due to political intervention, the authorities concerned will not permit him to participate in the tender to be held on 11.03.2015 for Weekly Market at Nilakottai, Dindigul District and therefore, he has come forward to file the present Writ Petition for the relief stated earlier.

3. According to the learned Special Government Pleader, the authorities concerned or any other person will not prevent the petitioner to participate in the tender and they have no objection to allow the petitioner to participate in the tender and they will also provide necessary protection.
