The State of Haryana & others -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. T.S. Dhindsa, Advocate for the petitioner. --- ORDER: 1. The grievance in the writ petition is that the petitioner gave bid for allotment of work of improvement of Nuh Mohmmadpur Kotla Bhadas Ghagas Road from kilometer 0 to 25.75 NABARD (RIDF XIV) I.D. Code 2506 in Mewat District, in pursuance of notice inviting tenders, Annexure P-1. The price bid of the petitioner was not considered without any valid reason by assuming that the petitioner had not given any price bid, even after holding the petitioner to be eligible. The petitioner had already deposited earnest money of Rs.28 lacs and Rs.20,000/- towards tender documents fee, which according to the instructions of the petitioner, is accepted after submission of price CWP No.12497 of 2009 bid. The petitioner made representation dated 12.8.2009, Annexure P-7, but no reply was received. Work allotment is to be done by the Engineer-in-Chief, respondent No.2, for which process is pending. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it will be just and fair that respondent No.2 takes into account view point of the petitioner before taking any final decision. 3. Having regard to the nature of controversy, without expressing any opinion on merits, we consider it appropriate to direct respondent No.2 to take into account the representation of the petitioner before taking a final decision. If the representation of the petitioner is to be rejected, reasons therefor may be conveyed to the petitioner. 4. The petition is disposed of. 5. Dasti on payment.
