Advocate for the State respondents. The challenge made in this petition is against the NIT dated 4/9/09 issued by t he Chief Executive Officer, Goalpara Zilla Parishad inviting tender for settleme nt of Chattaimari Pashu Hat falling under the Jaleswar Anchalik Panchayat fixing the minimum price of Rs.1,16,000/-. The petitioner has further challenged the action of Goalpara Zilla Paris had for making interim arrangement for running the market by engaging some other private person. Interpreting Section 105, 106 and 109 of the Assam Panchayat Act, a Full Bench of this Court in the case of Harez Ali and another -vs- State of Assam an d others reported in 2009 (2) GLT 561 has ruled that if the bid value of the hig hest bidder is found to be more than rupees one lakh, the Standing Committee of Anchalik Panchayat shall immediately forward all such tender papers together wit h comparative chart prepared and processed as per procedure prescribed, to the Z illa Parishad concerned, for doing the needful in accordance with law. The concerned NIT issued by the Chief Executive Officer of Goalpara Zilla Parish ad is in violation of the aforesaid decision of the Full Bench and accordingly t he said action of the Zilla Parishad cannot be approved and the NIT in question stands quashed. It is directed that the Jaleswar Anchalik Panchayat under whose jurisdic tion the Chattaimari Pashu Hat falls, shall issue necessary NIT as early as poss ible and after obtaining offers and preparing necessary comparative statement sh all forward the same to Goalpara Zilla Parishad with entire records who shall ma ke necessary arrangement for settlement of the market in question in terms of th e NIT. The entire exercise shall be done within a period of 1(one) month. Inte rim arrangement continuing as on date shall continue.
