Petitioner submits that the society of which he is the President made an offer. It is stated that, however without conducting any inspection of their manufacturing facilities, taking the view that the quality of the project offered by the petitioner was unsatisfactory, the Panchayat invited fresh bids on 24/3/2010.

From Ext.P3 communication issued by the Panchayat, it is seen that the Sub Committee appointed by the Panchayat inspected the manufacturing facility of the petitioner and concluded that the facility offered by the petitioner was poor. Nothing has been placed on record by the petitioner to doubt the genuineness of the reason stated in Ext.P3. That apart, even going by the submissions made, in pursuance to Ext.P2 re-tender notice, tenders were received and has been confirmed in favour of the successful tenderer. That successful tenderer has not been WPC No. 11567/10 :2 : impleaded in this writ petition. For the above two reasons, I do not find any merit in the writ petition.
