THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO: 20870 of 2005 Dated: 20-04-2006 Between: V.Balaji ..... PETITIONER AND The Divisional Railway Manager,(works), S.C. Railway, Vijayawada and five others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO: 20870 of 2005 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents 1 to 5, in accepting the tender of the sixth respondent for the work of Gudivada-Bhimavaram Section – Bhimavaram Town Provision of Foot over bridge connecting Platform Nos.1 and 2 relating to tender No.16/Bridges/2005, is arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner states that though he is the lowest bidder, the respondents have illegally awarded the work in favour of the sixth respondent, who is the second lowest bidder. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner raised various contentions, keeping in view the fact that as on today, the sixth respondent, in whose favour the work was awarded, has completed the work, I am not inclined to go into the merits of the case. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of, making it clear that this shall not preclude the petitioner to raise the grounds urged in this writ petition in the other proceedings pending between the petitioner and the respondents-Railways. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J Dated: 20-04-2006 KLP
