THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5127 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the societies, comprising of members belonging to Schedule Caste. They intend to submit tenders for various works, in response to the notice issued on 26.02.2009. Their grievance is that the respondent is not supplying tender schedules, free of cost, and not extending the other benefits, as prescribed by the Government, from time to time. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Medical, Health and Family Welfare. The Government provided various incentives for the Societies, comprising of members of the Scheduled Castes and Schedules Tribes, in the context of awarding works. For instance, they are exempted from the requirement of depositing EMD, and tender schedules are to be supplied to them, free of costs. In case they fulfill the conditions, there is no reason why they cannot be extended the benefits. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondent shall extend all the benefits to the petitioners-Societies, in the context of supply of tender schedules, or granting exemption from depositing EMD, in case they fulfill the prescribed conditions. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J 13.03.2009 Note: Furnish CC by 16.03.2009 Bo v v
