IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE EIGHTEENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21279 of 2010 Between: G. Ranga Swamy … Petitioner And The Superintending Engineer (FAC) A.P. Educational & Welfare Infrastructure Development Corporation Department, Kadapa & another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Muddu Vijai Counsel for the respondents: None This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21279 of 2010 ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside notification issued vide NIT No.42/SE/APEWIDC/KDP/D3/2010-11, dated 10.08.2010, by respondent No.1 without terminating the petitioner’s agreement, dated 02.01.2007, as illegal and arbitrary. A perusal of the record shows that notice before admission was issued on 27.08.2010 and no interim order was granted. As the tender notification was issued as far back as 10.08.2010, it is reasonable to presume that the whole process thereunder would have been completed and the contract, whose duration is of six months, would have already been executed. Even otherwise, since it is the grievance of the petitioner that the impugned tender notification was issued in respect of the same work, which was entrusted to him and without terminating his agreement, the said work cannot be entrusted to other agency, the petitioner is entitled to raise such a dispute before the competent civil Court and claim damages for purported unlawful entrustment of the work. Subject to this liberty, the Writ Petition is dismissed. This order, however, shall not be construed as this Court expressing any opinion on the legality or otherwise of the action of the respondents in issuing the impugned tender notification. As a sequel, WPMP.No.27075 of 2010 is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 18.11.2011 ES
