Choudhari, advocate for respondent No. 5. .... CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 1st APRIL, 2011 ORAL ORDER : 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. By this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged allotment of tender in favour of respondent No. 5 in respect of weekly vegetable bazar for the year 2011-2012. The challenge is mainly on the ground that in the open auction, after respondent (2) wp2521-11 No. 5 enhanced his bid to Rs. 6.78 lacs, the petitioner was not allowed to enhance it further. Petitioner's earlier bid was Rs. 6.77 lacs. In the Court, we asked learned counsel for the petitioner as to how much amount the petitioner wanted to enhance further. Learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions from the petitioner, submitted that the petitioner is ready to enhance his bid to Rs. 7.25 lacs. As against this, respondent No. 5, on his own, submitted that he is ready to pay Rs. 7.30 lacs. Then again, learned counsel for the petitioner was asked as to whether the petitioner is ready to enhance more than Rs. 7.30 lacs. On instructions, learned counsel for the petitioner said "No". In the circumstances, the petition is disposed of. However, we direct respondent No. 5 to pay an amount of Rs. 7.30 lacs to respondent No. 2 - Municipal Council, instead of Rs. 6.78 lacs. Learned counsel for respondent No. 5 has also agreed to pay such amount. With these directions, the petition is disposed of. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [D.B. BHOSALE, J.] NPJ/wp2521-11 (3) wp2521-11
