WP 8958/11 1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.8958/2011 Sanman Industrires through Proprietor V/s Union of India & others. _______________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | Shri A.G. Talhar, Advocate for petitioner. Shri Alok Sharma, Assistant Solicitor General for respondent no.1. Shri K.G. Patil, AGP for respondent nos.2 & 3. CORAM: B.R. GAVAI & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. Date: 14.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The basic contention of the petitioner is that items for which the tender process is initiated, are reserved for only small scale industries and as such it was not permissible for the respondent - authorities to have advertised the tender notice. In the reply filed on behalf of the respondent - State, it is specifically stated that the reliance on Sr.No.277 is for "Steel Desk" and as such it is the "Steel Desk" WP 8958/11 2 which is reserved for small scale industries. It is, however, stated that the tenders are being invited for Eco-Friendly Polymer Sitting Arrangement, which is not reserved for small scale industries. Sound and cogent reasons are given in paragraph no.4 of the affidavit in reply for justifying the issuance of the tender notice. In that view of the matter, we do not find that there is any impropriety in issuing the tender notice, as alleged. The petition is, therefore, rejected. (M.T. Joshi, J.) (B.R. Gavai, J.)
