IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No.16196 of 2009 Date of decision: 05.11.2009 Vineet Bansal. -----Petitioner Vs. Union of India & Others. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. S.K. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. --- ORDER: 1. This petition seeks quashing of contract awarded to respondent No.14 vide Annexure P-15 dated 16.1.2009. 2. Contention raised in the writ petition is that respondent No.14 was not eligible and was related to respondent No.7 who participated in the tender process. 3. Since, according to the writ petition, the contract was awarded in January, 2009 and this petition has been filed in October, 2009, without even approaching any higher authority, with the grievance that the petitioner’s bid was more competitive and was wrongly not considered, we do not find any ground to entertain this petition at this stage. CWP No.16196 of 2009 4. The petition is dismissed. It is, however, made clear that this order will not be a bar to grievance of the petitioner against respondent No.14 being considered by the concerned authority, in accordance with law.
