IN THE PUNJAB & HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.17892 of 2011 Date of Decision: 22.09.2011 M/s Rising Star Oil & Rice Mills Pvt. Ltd. …Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Gurjinder Singh Chahal, Advocate, for Mr. R.S.Modi, Advocate, for the appellant. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (ORAL) The petitioner has invoked the writ jurisdiction of this Court to seek a direction to the respondents to accept the offer submitted by the petitioner. It is the case of the petitioner that in the tender process, his bid is the highest, but the respondents have decided to invite fresh applications for the sale of paddy and rice for the Crop Year 2008-09. No enforceable right accrues to the petitioner merely for the reason that his bid is highest. The respondents have taken decision to invite fresh tenders for the sale of paddy and rice. In view of the fresh tender process, we do not find any ground to direct the respondents to accept the highest bid offered by the petitioner. It is for the petitioner to participate in the fresh tender process and for the respondents to accept the offer in accordance with law. We do not find any patent illegality in the tender process, which warrants any interference by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction. Dismissed.
