Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. This writ petition is filed by one who competed in terms of Ext.P6 invitation of tenders for the work of providing fire works(vedi vazhipadu) in Sree Ramaswamy Temple, Thriprayar. Admittedly, he is not the lowest tenderer. But, he says that the fourth respondent, who is the lowest tenderer, does not have the necessary licences under the relevant laws. The learned standing counsel for theCDB states that the tender has not been finalised. Obviously, the activities in relation to the fire works can be authorised and carried out only in accordance with laws. Therefore, the CDB will ensure that the work is entrusted only to person who would be duly authorized with WPC.3175/11 -: 2 :- necessary licence in accordance with the law relating to explosives. We leave open this for the Board to consider and do not express anything in that matter. Sd/- Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Sd/- P.S.Gopinathan, Judge. Sha/0302 -true copy- P.S.to Judge.
