1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 7271 OF 2008 DIST.: RAIGAD The Daryasagar Berojgar Seva Sahakari Sanstha Ltd. ...Petitioner Versus The Panvel Municipal Council & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. Kiran J. Kandpile for the Petitioner Mr. Sudhir Prabhu for Respondent No. 1 Mr. C.R. Sonawane, Assistant Government Pleader, for Respondents No. 2 and 4. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and J.H. BHATIA , JJ. DATE: DECEMBER 12, 2008 P.C.:- The petitioner-Society was a bidder in response to a tender notice for two shops, being Shops 126 and 152. We are concerned, in the present petition, with Shop No. 152, for which it quoted an amount of Rs.1,491/- per square foot. For another shop, which it got allotted, viz., Shop No. 126, it quoted an amount of Rs.1,590/- per square foot. It was the highest bidder for both shops. Its bid for Shop No. 152, 2 though highest, was not accepted on the ground that it was much lower than Rs.1,590/-, although both the shops were similar in size. Therefore, Shop No. 152 was re-tendered. The petitioner did not participate in the re-tendering process, but made representation to the respondents that it was prepared to increase its bid. 2. This Court would not be in a position to appreciate whether the bid was reasonable or not. It would only be in a position to see whether the respondents adopted a procedure which was transparent and fair. Once the first bids were considered, the respondents found that there have actually not been reasonable responses, and cancelled and invited fresh tenders. If the petitioner had any grievance, it could have participated in the fresh tender. Admittedly, respondent No. 3 has been the highest bidder. The petitioner has not at all participated in the tender in response to the tender notice. Therefore, it has no case. 3. The Writ Petition is not maintainable, and is dismissed. BILAL NAZKI, J. J.H.
