IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8126 of 2009 PARAS ENTERPRISES Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 16.07.2009 Learned counsel submits that he was the lowest bider in respect of the tender pursuant to the Notice inviting tender filed Vide Tender No.02/09 issued by respondent no.3. He submits that uptil now no decision has been taken one way or the other either to allow his tender or to cancel the tender. The petitioner has filed supplementary affidavit stating therein that he has come to know that respondent no.3 is at the verge of issuing supply order to a Firm, which has not participated in the tender process. It goes without saying that any contract either allotted by way of tender or negotiation or by any other mode has to be in consonance with Article 14 of the Constitution of India. It is expected that the authorities concerned would pass a speaking order one way or the other within four weeks from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. With the aforesaid direction this writ application is disposed of. Anilkrsinha (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
