THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WP No. 18456 of 2009 JUDGMENT: This writ petition has been instituted by one of the bidders seeking a writ of Mandamus for declaring the action of the respondents 1 to 5 in accepting and processing the bid of the 6th respondent pursuant to the tender notice dated 5.6.2009 floated by the South Central Railways. A consequential relief is also prayed for by way of directions to the respondents 1 to 5 to evaluate the tenders strictly in accordance with the eligibility conditions of the tender notification more particularly Condition No. 1.3, 1.4j and 1.8. Heard Sri Dammalapati Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.Bhaskar, learned counsel for the respondents 1 to 5 and Sri Prabhakar Reddy, learned counsel for the 6th respondent. The same petitioner has instituted WP No. 12227 of 2010 questioning the consequential award of contract in favour of the present 6th respondent herein on 25.5.2010. The same contentions relating to the failure of the 6th respondent to satisfy the eligibility criteria have been raised in the said writ petition. Today, I have pronounced judgment in WP No. 12227 of 2010 negativing the contentions canvassed by the writ petitioner herein. In view of the fact that the same writ petitioner has challenged the award of contract in favour of the 6th respondent on 25.5.2010 canvassing almost all the contentions that have been raised in this writ petition and those contentions have not been accepted, I consider it appropriate to dismiss this writ petition also for the same reasons set out in the judgment rendered in WP No. 12227 of 2010. Hence, this writ petition is also dismissed. But, however without costs. --------------------------------------- knk NOOTY RAMAMAMOHANA RAO,J Dt : 29.9.2010
