IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.20544 of 2010 SHRI KRISHNA, SON OF LATE JAGDISH LAL JAMUAR, TRIBHUBAN ENCLAVE APARTMENT, FLAT NO.1B, RAJENDRA NAGAR ROAD NO.1, PATNA………PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR, RESERVE BANK OF INDIA, SOUTH GANDHI MAIDAN, PATNA-800001. 2. THE DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER, RESERVE BANK OF INDIA, PATNA.…… ……………RESPONDENTS. For the petitioner : Mr. Pramod Kumar, Advocate. For R.B.I. : Mr. Kaushal Kr. Jha, Advocate. ----------- 02/ 21.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for Reserve Bank of India. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner for direction to the authorities to consider the claim of petitioner for the purpose of opening the technical bid with regard to tender for catering at Officers Lounge and Dinning Room in the Reserve Bank of India, Patna. It is quite apparent that tender form was submitted by the petitioner within time prescribed along with all the required documents except acknowledgment receipt of the assessment year 2008-09, which according to the petitioner, could not be filed due to inadvertence but at the time of opening of tender he produced the said document but his technical bid was rejected on the basis of the said technical ground only. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as the arguments of learned counsel for the parties it is quite apparent that the bid of petitioner, which was - 2 - submitted within time, was without one of the necessary documents and hence the said technical bid was rightly rejected on the said technical ground. So far the question of submission of required paper at the time of opening bid was concerned that was much beyond the period allowed for filing of the tenders. In the said circumstances, this court does not find any illegality in the impugned action of the authority concerned. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. Harish (S.N. Hussain, J.)
