THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.33363 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner formed a society viz., Action for Development Society and he is president of the said society. 2. The official respondents invited tenders in 2008 for selecting outsourcing agencies for skilled and unskilled workers. In response to the tender notification, 27 tenders were received including that of the petitioner. The tenders were opened on 12-08-2010 in the chamber of the Joint Collector, Adilabad and out of the 27 tenders, the tenders which quoted “ 0% ” service commission were rejected on the ground that these tenderers cannot be trusted and the only motive behind the quoting “ 0% ” service commission is to exclude the other tenderers. After rejecting the tenders, which quoted “ 0% ” service commission, the next lowest tenders, four in number, which quoted “ 0.2% ” service commission were considered. Out of the four tenderers, the petitioner had also quoted “ 0.2% ” service commission. 3. One of the conditions for grant of outsourcing agency was that at the time of opening of the tenders, tenderer was required to be present. The petitioner was given advance notice of the opening of the tenders. However, he was absent. Therefore, the competent authority after considering and scrutinizing all the tenders, awarded the tender in favour of respondent No.4 for outsourcing agency. 4. A perusal of the aforesaid facts shows that as the petitioner was not present on the date of opening of the tenders for which he was given advance notice, as per the terms and conditions of the tender he was not awarded contract work for outsourcing agency. Thus, no illegality has been committed by the official respondents in rejecting the tender of the petitioner and awarding the outsourcing agency to respondent No.4. 5. In the result, I find no merit in this writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission itself. No order as to costs. _______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J June 24, 2011. PV
