HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 16756 OF 2011 . DATED 22nd July, 2011. BETWEEN M/s. Dattatreya Medical Agencies, Kadapa, Rep. by its Managing Partner T.V. Kalyan Kumar, Kadapa …Petitioner And Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS), University, Tirupathi, Rep. by its Director. ….Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 16756 of 2011, ORDER: Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. Perused the case file. The respondent-SVIMS issued tender a notice on 10.06.2011 inviting sealed tenders for licensing of Medical Shop in respect of shop bearing No.3 in its campus, for a period of three years, commencing from the date of opening the bid. It is the case of the petitioner that he was the successful highest bidder in the tender notification issued by the respondent vide No.GM/165/SSR/SVIMS/2008, dated 24.08.2010 inviting the applications for licensing of medical shop in respect of Shop No.1 in the respondent campus and now the petitioner is running the medical shop from 18.09.2010 by paying the license fee regularly. It is the grievance of the petitioner that if the respondent invites tenders for the licensing of medical shop in respect of shop No. 3, he will be put to irreparable loss and untold misery. It is his further complaint that though he has submitted representation on 19.10.2010 requesting the respondent authorities not to issue tender for running of another shop, the same has not been considered and disposed of. He submits that if more medical shops are brought into the campus premises of the respondent by issuing tender notifications calling for the applications, it is very difficult for the petitioner to run and maintain the medical shop at Shop No.1 and pay licence fee. The downloading of bid document of the impugned tender notification from the respondent’s web site was started from 10.06.2011 and the last date for receipt of the bid by the respondent authorities is 24.06.2011. Nearly after nine days, the petitioner has submitted his representation requesting the respondents not to call for the tenders in respect of shop no.3. Once the tender process is started, it cannot be stopped abruptly without there being any irregularity in issuing the same or illegality on the face of the record. Furthermore, there is no estoppel by promise from the respondent authorities at the time of finalizing the petitioner’s bid pursuant to the tender notification dated 24.08.2010 that they would not issue any tenders calling for licensing of further shops in future. It is for the respondent authorities to consider and decide the requirement of number of medical shops to be run in their campus in order to avoid inconvenience or hassles or troubles to the patients in providing medicines which they require. In view of the above, there is no necessity for the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner, which was submitted requesting not to call for tenders for licensing of medical shop in respect of shop no. 3. The contentions that inviting of tenders for licensing medical shop in respect of shop no.3 in the respondent campus will put the petitioner to irreparable loss etc., merit no consideration. In that view of the matter, I do not see any merit in the Writ Petition and the same is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. -------------------------------------- JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA Dated 22nd June, 2011. Msnro
