J: Petitioner calls himself a public spirited citizen. He is before this Court, questioning the award of contract for the construction of a Plant and Auxiliary Building for the Titanium Sponge Project at Chavara to the 5th respondent. 2. In our view, this petition does not even have a tinge of public interest litigation. If for any reason, any person who had participated in the tender process and has quoted the lowest rate, and if for any reason his bid is not accepted, he could definitely come before this Court and question the award of contract in favour of respondent No.5.

Ordered accordingly. H.L. DATTU Chief Justice A.K. BASHEER Judge an.
