SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 15480 OF 2007 ------------------------------- Dated this the 25th May, 2007. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is running a SSI unit engaged in the manufacture of curry powders and masalas. Petitioner claims that she submitted tenders, pursuant to invitation of tenders issued by the respondent, and that her tender was the lowest which was accepted by the respondent. Purchase orders were being issued to her thereafter. She alleges that on account of mala fides, a notice was given to her, for termination of contract, stating that one of the items of curry powders supplied by her, was of inferior quality. Pursuant to the judgment of this Court, petitioner has filed a reply to the said notice, and the matter was heard. Thereafter, the respondent is stated to have cancelled the proposal for termination of the contract. However, the petitioner complains that thereafter no purchase orders were issued to the petitioner, and that the payments were also irregular. 2. The petitioner has filed Ext.P5 representation before the Chairman and Managing Director of the respondent for redressal of her grievances. Petitioner seeks a direction to the Chairman and Managing Director of the respondent, to consider and pass appropriate orders, on Ext.P5 representation expeditiously. W.P.(C) No. 15480/2007 2 3. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent also. 4. In the above facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the Chairman and Managing Director of the respondent, to consider and pass appropriate orders, on Ext.P5 representation, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within ten days, from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 5. For facilitating early disposal, as directed above, counsel for the petitioner submits that orders may be passed, based on the averments in Ext.P5, without any opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. This is recorded and the Chairman and Managing Director shall pass orders accordingly. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE nj.
