DAVE, THE CHIEF JUSTICE And HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO : 427 of 2008 ORDER : (Per Hon’ble The Chief Justice Sri Anil R.Dave) Being aggrieved by the judgment delivered in Writ Petition No.25882 of 2007, dated 21st February 2008, this appeal has been filed. The question is with regard to participating in a tender invited under Tender Notice No.740/Santh/SC. The appellant is an individual. His apprehension is that while considering his tender, Clauses, which are applicable to a partnership Firm, might be taken into account by the respondent-authorities. His apprehension is that by virtue of Clause 8 of the tender notice, which is not applicable to individuals, his case might not be considered. In our opinion, the apprehension of the appellant/petitioner is not well-founded for the reason that the said clause pertains to partnership Firms only. The appellant is not a partnership Firm, but he is an individual. In the aforesaid circumstances, we are sure that the respondent-authorities will not take into account the clauses and factors which are applicable to the partnership Firms, but they will consider the clauses and factors which are relevant for individuals. With the aforesaid clarification, we confirm the order passed by the learned Single Judge. The appeal stands disposed of. _________________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ 23rd April 2008 ______________________ R.
