EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, TRANSMISSION DIVISION, THODUPUZHA. BY SC FOR R1 P.P.THAJUDEEN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/01/08, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.3300 of 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner submits that in pursuance to Ext.P1, he wanted to obtain a tender form and that even an application for issue of tender form is not accepted or the tender form issued. The learned counsel for the respondents submitted that it is on account of the fact that the petitioner has not satisfactorily completed the work which is already awarded to him. In my view that cannot be a reason for not issuing tender form. If the petitioner's performance in the past was unsatisfactory, it may be a relevant factor which is to be considered at the appropriate stage but it cannot be a reason to decline the request to issue tender form. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the second respondent shall issue tender form to the petitioner as applied for by Ext.P1. Counsel for the second respondent shall communicate this order to the first respondent. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE csl
