JUDGMENT
~~~~~~~~~
The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking to restrain
the 1st respondent from awarding Ext.P4 work to the 5 th respondent
in violation of Exts.P2 and P3 Government Orders. The petitioner
has also sought for a direction to the 1 st respondent to award
Ext.P4 contract work to the licenced and experienced contractors
like the petitioner who has placed bid for a lower price.
2. When the writ petition came up for hearing today, the
learned Standing Counsel representing the respondents submitted
that when all the bids were scrutinized it was found that there is
only one valid tender and as there is only a single tender, the
respondents have decided to re-tender the work.
3. In such circumstances, this Court finds that no further
orders are needed in this writ petition.
W.P.(C) No.21908/2021
Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the
respondents to re-tender the work. The petitioner will also be at
liberty to submit his bid in the re-tender.
