mgn IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE CIVIL JURISDICTION PIL PETITION NO.143 OF 2009 Shri Abhimanyu Balaral Gaikwad & Ors. .Petitioners Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ..Respondents Mr. R.S. Apte, Senior Advocate with Mr. A.A. Garge, for the petitioner. Mr. S.R. Nargolkar, AGP for respondent No.1. Mr. A.G. Gadkari, for respondent No.3 Mr. Ravi Kadam, Advocate General with Mr. A.S. Rao for respondent Nos. 4 to 6. Mr. L.M. Acharya, for Respondent No.7. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & J.H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 14TH JANUARY, 2010 P.C. The petitioners-Corporators are aggrieved by the awarding of tender in favour of respondent No.7. The Respondent-Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation had invited bids for collection of Octroi. There were three bidders. The successful bidder was granted contract and the same was signed on 16th March, 2009. Eleven months have already expired. 2. The grievance of the petitioners is that there was violation of procedure in awarding the contract in as much as the matter was not discussed at the meeting of the Corporation. At the highest, therefore, the resolution passed by the Corporation would be termed if at all to be illegal against which there is a remedy under the provisions of the relevant Act itself. The petitioner never moved for staying the resolution. But they approached this Court only in the month of June, 2009. 3. These are purely commercial natters. The other tenders have not challenged the award of the contract. The petitioner did not move for stay of the resolution before the authorities under the relevant Municipal Corporation Act. The argument on behalf of the petitioners is that, it involves public revenue. We are not impressed. In our opinion this is not a fit case for this Court to exercise its extra ordinary jurisdiction more so as a PIL. Hence petition rejected. (J.H. BHATIA, J.) (F,I. REBELLO,J.)
