THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.32452 of 2010 Date: 25.03.2011 Between: M. Raghunandan … Petitioner and The Union of India, rep.by its Secretary, The Bharat Scouts and Guides, New Delhi and another. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.32452 of 2010 ORDER : Heard Sri Paidi Krishna Reddy, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as Sri Ponnam Ashok Goud, learned Assistant Solicitor General appearing for respondent No.1 and Sri J.Prabhakar, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.2, and with the consent of the respective counsel, the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. The petitioner filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to execute a contract in his favour for preparation and distribution of food for the participants in the events organized by the 2nd respondent from 22.12.2010 to 09.01.2011 and to pay damages for the alleged loss sustained by him on failure to execute the contract with him. 3. The 2nd respondent issued a tender notification dated 14.12.2010 inviting quotations from the caterers for preparation and distribution of food for those who attend the events being organized by it from 22.12.2010 to 09.01.2011. Pursuant to the said notification, the petitioner has submitted his tender along with others and he was found to be the lowest bidder. The grievance projected by the petitioner in this writ petition is that inspite of the fact that he was the lowest bidder, the said contract was not executed in his favour and thereby he sustained loss. The petitioner, therefore, filed the present writ petition for the aforesaid relief. 4. Even from the facts pleaded by the petitioner, it is evident that the offer made by the petitioner pursuant to the tender notification was not even accepted by the 2nd respondent and no communication to that effect was served on him. Admittedly, no agreement was entered between the parties to award the work to the petitioner. In the absence of any concluded contract, which is binding on the 2nd respondent, the petitioner cannot insist the 2nd respondent for awarding of contract in his favour and seek damages for failure to do so. 5. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 25.03.2011. Msr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.32452 of 2010 25.03.2011 (Msr)
