Why is it a shame?
TLD providers don't necessarily inform registration contacts of the upcoming renewals. One can set up a job/script to check and report on the status, if they own multiple domains. Alternatively, they can sign up for 'auto-renewal', or just mark on their calendar if they own handful of domains. Chances of someone missing the renewal is pretty common; that's when TLD hijackers come in! But, before these things go back on sale, they're usually held off for some days. Looking at the screenshot posted by @open, it's clear that the domain wasn't available for purchase by third party *just yet*. It says, "pending renewal or deletion"
Clearly, 'Deletion' needs to happen prior to being 'Available'.
PS: I'm not associated w/ ekantipur, and don't know who manages their TLD's. Just a note, based on my observation. :-)
