WP(C) 5057/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY Heard Mr. SK Kejriwal, learned counsel for the writ petitioner. Also heard Ms. M . Hazarika, learned senior counsel for respondents 1,2 and 3. Mr. GN Sahewalla, learned senior counsel appears for respondent No.4. 2. This matter pertains to the NIT dated 29.5.2010 issued by the Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited (Respondent No. 1) for supply of Alkaline Sizing Che micals with Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) . The said tender process was challenged by the petitioner on the ground that the respondents have not been fair in the set tlement process and unfair advantage is sought to be conferred on rival supplie r. 3. Ms. M. Hazarika, the counsel for settling authorities submits that havin g noticed the anomalies in the tender process, the HPCL Authorities have now dec ided to scrap the impugned NIT dated 29.5.2010 and she submits that the Court ma y accord permission to the HPCL Authorities to initiate a fresh tender process. 4. Mr. SK Kejriwal, learned counsel for the petitioner accordingly submits that till the new tender process is finalized, the petitioner may be permitted t o continue the supply of the required chemicals, as is being done for the presen t. Representing the respondent No. 4, Mr. GN Sahewalla, however, submits that th e other supplier like respondent No. 4 have not been permitted to make temporary supply on trial basis and this is leading to unfair gain for the writ petitione r. He contends that the interim order passed by this Court permitting the interi m arrangement to continue is causing detriment to the other interested suppliers . 5. Having considered the submissions made by Ms. Hazarika that the HPCL Aut horities have decided to initiate a fresh tender process, I am of the view that they be permitted to scrap the tender notice dated 29.5.2010 and issue a fresh t ender process and select a competent tenderer, for receiving supply of the chemi cals. However, considering the allegation of unfairness made by the tenderers, a nd the advantage being secured by the current suppliers, the process of issuing a fresh tender and selection of the supplier is ordered to be completed expediti ously and preferably on or before 15.3.2011. 6. Until a regular supplier is selected, the supply may be procured from th e current supplier as well as from the trial supplier, to whom order was issued on 22.9.2010 by the HPCL Authorities. The Court’s interim orders dated 13.9.2010 and 5.10.2010 accordingly stands vacated. 7. The Writ Petition and the connected Misc. Cases stand disposed of with t he above order.
