Mr.Madan Mohan, Advocate for respondents No.2 to 6. CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J This petition has been filed challenging the tender notice dated 23.7.2008 issued by respondent No.6. The petitioner claims to be an approved manufacturer for procurement of wide range AVRs against DGS&D rate contract. As per the learned counsel for the petitioner the impugned tender notice mentions that three concerns viz. respondents No.7, 8 and 9 are the approved manufacturers for the tender items. It is his contention that even though the petitioner was eligible yet it has been excluded by the mention of these three respondents. C.W.P No. 14500 of 2008 ::2:: In our opinion, this writ petition must fail. The petitioner did not even purchase the tender notice. Had it done so, and submitted the same, it would have been able to urge before the respondents that it was also eligible and that its tender should be considered on merits. Instead, it rushed to this Court challenging the tender notice itself. In these circumstances, we dismiss this writ petition without further recording any finding as to the eligibility or otherwise of the petitioner which may be raised by it whenever the opportunity arises. No costs. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE ( ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ) JUDGE September 16, 2008 'kk'
