C.W.P No.2095 of 2008 This writ petition has been filed challenging the award of contract of installing microprocessor based traffic control system from Leela Bhawan Chowk to Fountain Chowk Patiala on the ground that respondent C.W.P No. 2095 of 2008 (O&M) ::2:: No.5 was not eligible for the allotment of the said tender. In reply, it is submitted that respondent No.5 had obtained the tender as a representative of Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (Keltron) and that the tendered work has been completed. It is further averred that the rates of the petitioner were much higher than those offered by the successful party. Counsel for the petitioner, though not disputing the fact that the work has been completed, seeks to urge that firstly respondent No.5 obtained the tender in his own name and, therefore, it could not be said that he was a representative of Keltron and secondly that the work, which has been completed, is in violation of the tender conditions. In our opinion, this Court is not an appropriate forum for deciding the questions raised by counsel for the petitioner. In these circumstances, we dismiss this petition without prejudice to the petitioner's rights to seek alternative remedy before an appropriate forum. No costs.
