THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.33845 of 2010 ORDER : This Writ Petition has been filed to declare re-tender notification issued by the respondent for awarding fabrication and the erection of KVIC-30 stalls at 71st All India Industrial Exhibition, 2011 at Exhibition Grounds, Nampally, Hyderabad, as illegal. The respondent issued a short tender notice dated 22-12- 2010 calling for tenders to execute the work of installation of stalls at the Exhibition Grounds, Nampally commencing from 01-01- 2011. The petitioner states that he is the one of the bidders and his tender was found to be the lowest at Rs.2,97,300/-. The respondent, feeling that the rates quoted by the tenderers were on the high side, rejected all the tenders and issued the impugned re- tender notification. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has filed this Writ Petition. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that his being the lowest tender, the respondent ought to have accepted the same and there is absolutely no reason why the respondent should call for fresh tenders. He also contends that he was not communicated any reasons therefor. He, therefore, contends that the impugned notification is illegal. Heard the learned counsel and perused the impugned re- tender notification. The Respondent has very clearly stated that all the tenderers quoted high rates in the quotations received in pursuance of the notification dated 22-12-2010, and therefore the said tenders were rejected. It also shows that fresh tenders were called from the experienced fabricators for the purpose of fabrication and installation of the stalls on the theme of Khadi Bazar. In view of the same, it cannot be said that the respondent has committed any illegality or other impropriety in calling for fresh tenders. There are no merits in the Writ Petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 31st December, 2010. skmr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.33845 of 2010 Date 31-12-2010 Between : M.Devendranath ..
