HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.30229 of 2011 Date: 15.11.2011 Between: N.Srinivas … Petitioner And The Government of India, Rep. by its Director of Works (SR), Central Public Works Department, Rajaji Bhavan, Besant Nagar, Chennai and two others. … Respondents O R D E R: The petitioner is objecting to the conditions of tender called for by the respondents and contends that the eligibility to compete is restricted to approved and eligible contractors of CPWD, which affects the petitioner’s interest. The petitioner, therefore, contends that not only the CPWD contractors but also the contractors from MES, BSNL, Railway and A.P. State Public Works Department also should be allowed to compete for the said tender. 2. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am unable to see any legal right of the petitioner being infringed, inasmuch as, the respondents are entitled to fix the eligibility of contractors through whom they seek to get the work executed. The terms of the tender including the eligibility of contractors entirely rests upon the tenderer to fix. Challenge to the tender notice by the petitioner seeking enlargement of point of eligibility cannot therefore be enforced by the petitioner through the mandamus sought for. 3. The writ petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage. ________________________ Vilas V. Afzulpurkar, J Date: 15.11.2011 va
