PER COURT :- 1] The petitioners have approached this court being aggrieved by two conditions in the tender notice dt. 18th October, 2011, in respect of auction of sand blocks. The two conditions with which the petitioners are aggrieved are as under :- [i] that, the bidder should submit a TIN certificate issued by the Sales Tax Department; [ii] that, the successful bidder should deposit the entire amount within a period of 15 days from the date of auction. 2] Shri Rathod, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that both the conditions are totally arbitrary inasmuch as many person including the petitioner do not possess the TIN certificate issued by the Sales Tax Department and many persons FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO.

It would not be permissible for this court to interfere with such conditions unless such conditions are found to be palpably arbitrary or irrational. The conditions imposed above are universally applicable to all the bidders. We do not find that a condition which requires a certificate issued by a Sales Tax Department to be produced at the threshold or a condition which requires the entire amount to be deposited within 15 days, to be either arbitrary or irrational. Apart from that it is also not the case of the petitioner that the conditions imposed are tailor-made to suit someone with malafide intention. In that view of the matter, no case is made out for interference. Writ petition is dismissed. [M.T. JOSHI,J.] [B.R. GAVAI, J.] grt/-
