DINESH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.6701 OF 2011(K) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of March, 2011 J U D G M E N T The first respondent issued Ext.P1 re-tender notice inviting tenders for the supply of bleaching powder. Tenders wee to be submitted by E mail. The last date for submitting tenders was on 27.1.2011. According to the petitioner due to the technical defects in the web site of the first respondent he could not upload his tender. Complaining of the above he submitted Ext.P4 complaint dated 28.1.2011. Despite this nothing was done and that led the petitioner to file this writ petition on 3.3.2011. 2. Standing counsel has obtained instruction in the matter and submits that the last date for submitting the tender was 27.1.2011 and the petitioner did not submit his tender. According to him, technical bids were opened on 30.1.2011 and price bids of the prequalified bidders are being opened today. 3. Though it may be true that the petitioner cannot be faulted for the inability to submit his tender, in my view, this writ petition filed on 3.3.2011, in the facts of the case, is a highly belated one. This is for the reason that after the last date viz; WPC.No. 6701/2011 :2 : 27.1.2011 technical bids were opened and evaluated on 30.1.2011 and price bids are to be opened today. Therefore, at this stage if this court issued any order that will upset the whole proceedings and will affect the right of the third parties. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed.
