HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13888 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner, who was awarded contract for supply of eggs to Anganwadi centers of 11 under ICDS projects for the period from March 2010 to February 2011, at the rate of Rs.2.89 paise per egg, filed the present writ petition questioning the tender notification issued by the first respondent, dated 28.04.2011, inviting tenders for supply of eggs for the said Anganwadi centers on or before 09.05.2011. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents without considering the representation, dated 25.02.2011, submitted by him to permit him to continue the supply of eggs for another one year at the rate of Rs.3.35 paise per egg, invited the tenders and hence, he prays to direct the respondents to permit him to participate in the tender pursuant to the impugned tender notification, dated 28.04.2011. Heard both sides. If the petitioner is eligible to participate in the tender, and is not otherwise disentitled, it is always open for him to participate in the tender pursuant to the impugned notification. The respondents are directed to issue tender forms to the petitioner for enabling him to participate in the tender, if he is eligible. The petitioner will not have any vested right to supply the eggs for another year by considering his representation favourably. But, however, in view of the issuance of the tender notification, if he is eligible to participate and make his offer, the respondents are directed to receive the tenders of the petitioner pursuant to the tender notification. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY 04th May 2011 Note: Issue CC by tomorrow.
