MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Aman Bansal, Advocate for Mr. Akshay Bhan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Piyush Kant Jain, Addl. A. G. for respondents no.1, 4 and 5. * * * ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, J. (Oral) : 1. This petition seeks quashing of allotment of work to respondent no.8 on the ground that the said respondent had earlier made a default. 2. Case of the petitioner is that a tender was floated in March/April, 2008 for loading of foodgrains and transportation and the tender condition was that if a contractor leaves the work, his security is to be forfeited and he can be blacklisted. Respondent no.8, to whom the work has been allotted, had earlier defaulted. Reliance is placed on minutes of meeting of the District Level Committee held on 10.10.2003, Annexure P-8, where recommendation of forfeiture of earnest money was made. C. W. P. No. 16320 of 2008 2 3. Stand of respondent no.1 is that the work was allotted to respondent no.8 as price quoted by him was the lowest. As regards earlier default by him, it is submitted that though earnest money was forfeited, respondent no.8 was never blacklisted nor any recommendation for blacklisting was made. 4. In view of above, we do not find any ground to interfere. 5. Dismissed. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) JUDGE December 09, 2008 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
