THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.33269 OF 2011 O R D E R: This Writ Petition is filed seeking to issue a Writ of Mandamus to call for records pertaining to ‘e’ Procurement Notice No.Rc.01E1/2011, dated 02.12.2011 with I.FB No.4536/2010 on the file of Nuzvid Municipality, Krishna District and set aside the same and consequently direct the respondent to call for the tenders pertaining to supply of contract labour to Nuzvid Municipality for water supply and electrical maintenance workers, who would work as directed by the departmental authorities for the fiscal year 2012-2013 only in March, 2012. 2. The brief facts, as stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, are that when the respondent Municipality issued tender notification in May, 2011, petitioner participated in the said tender along with others, but the same was cancelled on 16.05.2011. Again, when the respondent issued another tender notification on 22.08.2011, the petitioner along with others participated in the said tender, but the same was also cancelled without any reason. Again, the respondent issued tender notification on 02.12.2011, which was for a period of four months i.e., upto April, 2012 ending. The tenders usually end by March of every year but the impugned notification spelt over to April, 2012, which is against the tender rules and regulations. The issuance of tender notification in December, 2011 itself is bad because of its short period. The tenders can be issued by the respondent commencing from April, 2012 onwards and therefore, the impugned notification is defective. Hence, the present writ petition. 3. Heard Sri S.Nageswara Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for Nuzvid Municipality, appearing for the respondent. 4. The respondent Municipality issued tender notification by issuing ‘e’ Procurement Notice, dated 02.12.2011, for the works pertaining to electrical and contract labour. The last date for receipt of tender is 17.12.2011. It is for the respondent Municipality to decide as to from what date to what date, the contract period of the tender has to be commenced and the petitioner has no right to challenge the notification and the same cannot be shown to be a defective one or bad in law. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merit and is liable to be dismissed. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _​_____________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 19th December, 2011 AMD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.33269 OF 2011 Date:19.12.2011 AMD
