AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.737 OF 2010 DATED:20.10.2010 Between: M/s. The Kadapa District Scheduled Caste Sephayee Karmacharies Labour Contract Cooperative Society Ltd., Kadapa, Rep. by its President M. Ramalingaiah S/o. Kondaiah, R/o. D.No.16/1036-1 Masapet, Kadapa Town & District … Appellant And The Andhra Pradesh Health & Medical Housing & Infrastructure Development Corporation (An Enterprise of Government of A.P.) III Floor, DM&HS Office Campus, Sulthan Bazar Hyderabad, rep. by its Managing Director and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.737 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Having been confronted with unhygienic atmosphere due to inadequate sanitation staff, lack of proper supervision and non-standardization of cleaning procedures in the hospitals, the Government evolved a uniform procedure for the purposes of sanitation by dint of G.O. Ms. No.99 dated 5-5-2010. The sanitation policy so evolved came to be extended initially to all the teaching hospitals falling under the control of the Director of Medical Education including, the Specialty Teaching Hospitals, 3 semi- autonomous Rajeev Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences at Kadapa, Adilabad and Srikakulam, all the 17 District Hospitals and 58 Area Hospitals of Andhra Pradesh Vaidya Vidhana Parishad. It is in furtherance of the said policy that an eligibility clause came to be incorporated in the bid document, envisaging that contractors having a turnover of Rs.2.00 crores (Rupees two crores) could only tender for the work besides other requirements, consequently writ petition challenging the said condition notwithstanding the fact that the condition is made applicable to all the contractors who intend to tender for sanitation works relating to the hospitals detailed in the G.O. and mentioned hereinabove. Apparently, it is not the appellant alone who is subjected to this condition and having regard to the objective sought to be achieved by the Government, we are in agreement with the learned single Judge that the condition is neither arbitrary nor illegal. That apart, the policy is not questioned before us. Situated thus, the appeal fails. Dismissed. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 20-10-2010 B. Narsinga Rao
