THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.17251 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner-Committee questions the tender notice No.8 to 12/2011-12, dated 10.05.2011, issued by respondent No.3. The petitioner-Committee contends that issuance of the impugned tender notice is contrary to the procedure contemplated under the Andhra Pradesh Farmers Management of Irrigation Systems Act, 1997, as the tender ought to have been given to a Society/Committee of the Farmers and not to any other person. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that if the tender was below Rs.5.00 lakhs, then only the petitioner- Committee or any other local Society or Farmers Organization could be awarded and, in the instant case, since the tender is more than Rs.5.00 lakhs, it could not be allotted to the petitioner- Committee. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I find no illegality in issuance of the impugned tender notice dated 10.05.2011 as the tender amount is more than Rs.5.00 lakhs. The Writ Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA,J Date:22.06.2011 Note:CC in three days. bo usd
